RoPax Ferries
RoPax Ferries
Damen RoPax Ferries are built in many sizes and capacities, given that each one is fully tailored to specific routes and operations. We work with our clients to make sure they have the most efficient and economical solution possible. We provide designs with a variety of configurations for cars and trucks by installing bow ramps, stern ramps, hoistable decks and more.
The Damen Fast RoPax series consists of mid- and high-speed ferries for passengers and vehicles. They are available for coastal and seagoing routes.

Our Fast RoPax Ferries are also very comfortable vessels, with modern passenger saloons, that comply with all the international safety standards, including HSC 2000.
