Double-ended Ferries with 3 propellers

Double-ended ferries for relatively long routes in difficult shipping channels or adverse harbour conditions are designed with a preferential direction of travel. The ends of the ship are not symmetrical. There are two propellers at the stern and a single one at the bow. These ships are hydrodynamically optimised in terms of drag.
