Vessel Description

SELINUNTE JET is an Italian-flagged high-speed passenger craft built in 1997 by Fincantieri. Constructed with an aluminum hull to achieve the low weight necessary for high-speed operations, the vessel is designed for fast passenger ferry services in the Mediterranean. Operating under Liberty Lines, she serves routes connecting Sicily with surrounding islands, providing rapid inter-island and coastal passenger transport. The vessel's water jet propulsion system allows for the high speeds characteristic of the HSC class, making her well suited for short to medium distance passenger runs in the relatively sheltered waters of the central Mediterranean.
