Knud E. Hansen A/S advises that this project has materialised from concept to sailing vessel in less than 24 months. This is the first Ro-Pax cruiser purposely designed and built in China for the Chinese market.

The ship entered into service on January 1, 2015. “San sha No. 1” can carry wheeled cargo, containers, trailers as well as passengers.

Measured 122.3 meters long and 21 meters wide, the ship has a displacement of 7,800 tons with endurance of 6,000 nautical miles. She can accommodate up to 456 passengers and 20 standard trailers.

The ship is also equipped with a helicopter landing platform, which makes her convenient for maritime rescue and island patrolling.

The vessel has been developed with optimised work flow in mind, which will allow maximum operational efficiency, including boat to boat embarkation procedures which will be required in specific islands without dedicated berthing facilities.
