Today's traveler wants to get to destinations quickly and comfortably without restrictions imposed by inclement weather. In addition, the public demands their transportation be environmentally friendly through low emissions, low noise pollution, and operate with a minimal impact on the environment. While this is true of all modes of transportation, it is especially true in modern maritime transportation.

To address these new demands, Lockheed Martin has developed a Commercial Fast Ferry that meets all criteria passengers desire while meeting or exceeding all environmental requirements. Based on over 15 years of design, manufacturing and testing by Lockheed Martin, Sea SLICE is the hullform that responds to the changing passenger travel requirements. Lockheed Martin’s Passenger Fast Ferry Sea SLICE design eliminates the pitch and roll that accompanies rough seas. It provides the passenger with a more stable ride and a more positive, comfortable experience. This ocean-capable design has proven to be a stable platform at speeds from 0 to 35 knots and in water conditions up to Sea State 5.

Additionally, Sea SLICE is an environmentally responsible design. It is the only fast ferry capable of meeting recently established wake wash standards. The low noise and low emissions from this advanced hullform coupled with its technological and ergonomic superiority, make Sea SLICE an all around superior vessel for maritime passenger transport.

For ferry operators, the Sea SLICE design offers modularity so that it can be easily adapted to meet a wide range of transportation requirements.
