Our Ferry Boat Range: Passenger Ferries, Car Ferries, and High-Speed Catamarans
One of the greatest advantages of working with Jumeirah Industry Co., Ltd. is the sheer breadth of our ferry boat range, which covers virtually every segment of the commercial passenger and vehicle transport market. Our passenger ferries are designed with comfort and capacity in mind, featuring spacious seating arrangements, climate-controlled interiors, modern restrooms, and optional amenities such as cafeterias, duty-free shops, and children's play areas that enhance the overall travel experience.

We also specialize in high-speed catamarans, which have become the preferred choice for operators seeking to dramatically reduce crossing times on routes where speed is the primary competitive advantage. Our catamaran designs combine lightweight aluminum construction with powerful propulsion systems to achieve service speeds that keep passengers happy and maximize the number of daily round trips your fleet can complete. Beyond these standard categories, we develop hybrid and low-emission ferry boat concepts for environmentally conscious operators, reflecting our commitment to sustainable maritime solutions that meet tightening international emissions regulations. Each vessel in our portfolio can be further adapted with advanced navigation equipment, surveillance systems, and passenger information technology to meet the specific demands of your route and regulatory environment. Our diverse range means that whether you need a modest 50-passenger vessel for a short river crossing or a large 1,000-passenger car ferry for an international route, we have the engineering expertise to deliver exactly what you need. We also invite you to browse our

Advanced Passenger Ferry Solutions
Our passenger ferries are engineered to deliver a premium travel experience while maintaining exceptional operational efficiency for the owner. Every passenger ferry we construct incorporates ergonomic seating, large panoramic windows, and advanced ventilation systems that keep interiors comfortable even during long voyages in tropical climates. We pay careful attention to passenger flow management, designing wide corridors, strategically placed stairways, and accessible boarding arrangements that comply with international accessibility standards. Onboard safety is paramount, and each vessel is equipped with modern life-saving appliances, fire suppression systems, and comprehensive evacuation procedures that meet or exceed classification society requirements. The guest experience extends beyond mere seating, as we offer flexible interior configurations that can accommodate everything from standard commuter services to premium sightseeing cruises with open observation decks. For operators running high-frequency routes, we optimize our passenger ferry designs for quick turnaround times, ensuring that your vessel spends maximum time generating revenue rather than sitting idle at the dock.
Durable and Efficient Car Ferries
Car ferries impose unique structural demands on a vessel, requiring substantial deck strength, careful weight distribution, and reliable vehicle handling systems that Jumeirah engineers handle with absolute precision. Our car ferry designs feature generous lane capacity, adjustable vehicle decks where appropriate, and robust stern and bow ramps that function flawlessly in various tidal conditions and port configurations. We integrate advanced ballasting systems that maintain vessel stability throughout the loading process, preventing dangerous listing and ensuring that vehicles can be moved onboard safely even in high winds. The car deck is equipped with high-capacity ventilation and fire detection systems that protect both the vessel and the vehicles it carries, addressing one of the most serious risk factors in ro-ro operations. Access arrangements are customized to match the specific port infrastructure at your terminals, whether that involves a fixed link-span bridge, a floating pontoon, or a side-loading dock arrangement. Our car ferry solutions have proven themselves in demanding domestic routes and international crossings alike, earning the trust of operators who demand dependability on every single sailing.
High-Speed Catamarans for Modern Routes
The high-speed catamaran segment is where Jumeirah Industry Co., Ltd. truly showcases its advanced marine engineering capabilities, producing vessels that combine exceptional speed with outstanding seakeeping performance. Our catamarans employ twin-hull configurations that offer superior stability compared to monohull designs, reducing motion sickness for passengers and allowing safe operation in sea states that would force other vessels to remain in port. The use of high-strength marine-grade aluminum keeps the overall weight low, enabling our high-speed ferries to achieve service speeds in excess of 35 knots while maintaining excellent fuel economy relative to their performance class. We carefully tune the hull geometry and propulsion systems through extensive tank testing and sea trials, ensuring that each vessel achieves its designed performance envelope without compromise. Interior layouts for our high-speed catamarans are optimized for short-duration voyages, with lightweight seating, efficient service areas, and design features that maximize passenger comfort during fast transits. For island nations and archipelagic regions where connectivity is critical, our high-speed catamarans have revolutionized local transport, dramatically cutting travel times and stimulating economic activity.

Customization Options: Tailoring Design, Capacity, and Amenities to Your Requirements
Every ferry route is unique, presenting its own set of challenges related to passenger volumes, sea conditions, port limitations, and local regulations, which is why Jumeirah Industry Co., Ltd. places so much emphasis on our extensive customization capabilities. We understand that a standard off-the-shelf vessel rarely delivers the perfect fit for your specific operational needs, so our naval architects work closely with you to tailor the hull design, overall dimensions, and engine configuration to match your route profile exactly. Passenger capacity can be adjusted within a wide range, from compact vessels carrying fewer than 50 people to large ferries accommodating well over a thousand passengers, with the interior layout optimized for your expected traffic patterns. Vehicle carrying capacity on our custom car ferries is equally flexible, allowing you to specify the number of lanes, maximum vehicle dimensions, and the mix of cars, trucks, and buses your route is likely to encounter. We offer a comprehensive selection of onboard amenities that can be incorporated into your ferry boat design, including premium seating classes, restaurants and cafeterias, retail outlets, lounges, meeting rooms, and even entertainment systems for longer crossings. The exterior appearance of your vessel can also be customized with your company branding, color schemes, and architectural features that make your ferry instantly recognizable in every port it visits. Technical specifications such as propulsion type, fuel choice, navigation equipment, and communication systems are all open for discussion, ensuring that your new vessel aligns perfectly with your existing fleet and maintenance capabilities. We support our customization process with transparent documentation, detailed 3D visualizations, and regular consultation meetings that keep you fully informed from the initial concept through to final delivery. This commitment to tailored ferry boat design has made Jumeirah the preferred custom ferry boat manufacturer for clients who refuse to compromise on functionality or performance.
