Pegasus One Christened At Finccmtieri The state-of-the-art fast ferry MDV12000 Pegasus One, built by Fincantieri's Riva Trigoso Shipyard for Ocean Bridge Investments, was recently chris- tened. The vessel is the outcome of research studies made by Fincantieri regarding hulls capa- ble of developing high speeds in rough seas. The new 312-ft. (95-m) fast ferry is powered by four MTU 20V 1163 TB73L diesel engines with a total power rating of 24,000 kW. The Pegasus One is designed to carry 600 passengers and more than 170 cars. Car embarking/dis- embarking is carried out through a large stern door on the main car Metalleido in Genova during five MSC 40 (64) Resolution, years of research within the Brite For more information from Fincantieri Euram program, which was Circle 105 on Reader Service financed by the European Economic Community.
