Builder Pequot River Shipworks Vessel name Sassatus Vessel type Owner/operator October 31, 1997 marked the delivery of the first high- speed passenger ferry built in the U.S. to the International High Speed Craft Code and U.S. regula- tions, and the first vessel built by Pequot River Shipworks. Delivered to Hornblower Marine Services, Sassacus will carry 300 passengers per 2.5 hr. trip from New London, Conn, to New York City. One unique feature of Sassacus is the stabilizing central third bow which ensures a smooth ride across the Long Island Sound. The original design of the vessel was licensed from FBM Marine (UK) Ltd., but due to U.S. Coast Guard regula- tions stipulating that the IMO'HSC can only be adopt- ed under sub chapter K of the CFR 46 Regulations, the vessel underwent design changes to decrease its ton- nage. Sassacus utilizes the latest state-of-the-art technology including ARPA radar and night vision units, and is powered by Twin Solar Taurus Gas Turbines devel- oping 5,108 hp at 13,000 rpm. Given the current trend toward faster and more efficient means of alternative transportation in congested metropolitan areas, along with the .High-speed passenger ferry .Hornblower Marine Services demand for high speed pas- senger vessels in other mar- kets, Sassacus has found its niche. A second vessel has begun construction with completion scheduled for summer 1998.
