Description

Saint John Paul II is the largest high-speed catamaran in the Mediterranean Sea,[1] and the second largest in the world,[2] surpassing the {{MV|Jean de La Valette}}, also operated by Virtu Ferries. It has an overall length of {{convert|110.6|m|abbr=on}} and a waterline length of {{convert|101.9|m|abbr=on}}.[3] Its moulded beam is {{convert|28.2|m|abbr=on}}, the beam of the hulls is {{convert|5.4|m|abbr=on}}, and it has a draught of {{convert|4.277|m|abbr=on}}.[3] The vessel consists of two aluminium hulls connected by a bridging section, with the forward end containing a central bow structure.[3] It has a deadweight tonnage of {{convert|1000|tonnes|abbr=on}}.[1]

The catamaran's main engines are four resiliently mounted MTU 58000 M71L engines.[1] It is propelled by four Wärtsilä LJX 1500SR waterjets.[1][2] The vessel's service speed is approximately {{convert|38|knots|abbr=on}}.[3]

The vessel is designed to accommodate 900 passengers and 24 crew.[1] It has two deck levels, with a Tourist Class seating area and a Truck Drivers Lounge at Tier 2 and a Business Class seating area and VIP Lounges at Tier 3.[1] The vessel also contains gift shops, a gaming lounge, bars and a store, along with facilities for the crew.[1] The vessel's vehicle capacity is 490 truck lane metres or 167 cars.[1]

Career

Virtu Ferries ordered the catamaran in July 2016, in order to provide for an increased capacity of cargo traffic and passengers between Malta and Sicily.[4] In 2017 it was announced that the vessel would be named Saint John Paul II, after Pope John Paul II, who had traveled on a Virtu Ferries catamaran, the ACC San Frangisk, during his 1990 visit to Malta.[5][6] The vessel is the second Incat-built ship named after a pope, after the {{HSC|Francisco}} which is named after Pope Francis.[18] The vessel was built in accordance with DNV GL Classification Society Rules and with IMO High Speed Craft HSC 2000, along with Malta Flag statutory requirements and Italian Port State requirements.[18]

The catamaran was built as Hull 089 by Incat in Hobart, Tasmania,[7] and it was designed by Revolution Design and Seaspeed Consulting and tank-tested at Qinetiq.[18] Construction began in 2017, and the vessel was launched on 22 December 2018.[8] Sea trials began in January 2019,[8] and the vessel was handed over to Virtu Ferries on 24 January.[9] It was delivered to Malta in a two-week journey between 6 and 27 February 2019.[10]

The vessel entered service in March 2019[9][11] replacing the Jean de La Valette.[12] An open day was held on 10 March 2019,[13] and over 12,000 people visited the vessel.[14] MaltaPost installed a mailbox on board the catamaran on 11 March 2019, and mail posted there is marked as paquebot.[15]

The vessel has been called a "significant ship" by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.[16]
