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.
Comfortable, contemporary RoPax Ferries
Damen RoPax Ferries are an excellent means of providing waterborne public transport. They ensure safe and efficient journeys for cars, trucks and passengers. Operating worldwide, they are renowned for their excellent seakeeping, fuel-efficient hull forms and contemporary interior design. Our Fast RoPax Ferries are also very comfortable vessels, with modern passenger saloons, that comply with all the international safety standards, including HSC 2000.
New RoPax set to boost trade & employment

Carrying up to 308 passengers, vehicles and cargo, the ferry will stimulate access to trade, education and employment.
RoPax 8017 is part of lifeline programme
The 80-metre Ice Class RoPax Ferry ‘MV Veteran’ (64 cars and 200 pax) operates services from Fogo Island and Change Islands. The vessel is part of a major ‘lifeline’ vessel replacement programme being undertaken by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
