So dear reader, now it might get a bit prosy :-) I decided to extend the page with the technical Data considerably an add a lot of of other Data to this page. The list of sources has become very long and as alwas I'm glad about corrections. Some of the given numbers may not be exact, as they are stated differently everywhere. One example is the maximum speed. Silja Line still quotes 30.5 Knots everywhere, which has anyway never been the peak. Already in 1976, Finnjet reached 31,1 Knots on a testdrive. With the help of new gearings in 1994, all engines could be used together and the ship is supposed to have reached 33 Knots - empty however. According to Captain Slotte, the ship is able to go 32 Knots in good conditions. By taking in consideration that the Baltic Sea is mostly not deep enough for this speed anyway, I decided to state the max. speed with 32,5 Knots. Nevertheless Finnjet is still one of the fastest cruise ferries, even though there are nowadays ships of similar size and speed existing, e.g. of Minoan Lines. But also it is fact that the fuel consumption almost explodes at these speeds (with any propulsion type) and makes an economic use impossible.
