Summary

[edit]
Description

The Benchijigua Express was built in Henderson, Western Australia by Austal. The vessel is 126.65 metres (415.5 ft) long, 30.4 metres (100 ft) wide, and with a draught of 4 metres (13 ft). She can reach speeds of 42 knots (78 km/h; 48 mph), although her normal service speed is 36 knots (67 km/h; 41 mph).

The vessel is powered by four diesel engines of MTU Series 8000 (20V 8000 M71L, each with 9,100 kW at 1,150 rpm driven electric generators, housed in two engine rooms. Each of the two diesels in the rear engine-room drive one Kamewa 125 SII steerable waterjet propulsion from Rolls-Royce. The overall performance of both machines at the front engine room is transferred to a Kamewa 180 BII booster waterjet The electrical energy is generated by four MTU 12V 2000 M40 generator units. Up to 1,291 passengers are distributed on two decks. Due to the short crossing time, there are no passenger cabins. For vehicle transport there are 123 car spaces and 450 metres (1,480 ft) of truck lane; the latter can be converted into an additional 218 car spaces.The vehicle deck can be loaded and unloaded in 30 minutes.
