Vessel Description

TINDARI JET is an Italian-flagged high-speed passenger catamaran built in 1997 by Fincantieri, one of Italy's premier shipbuilders. The vessel is constructed with an aluminium hull, characteristic of high-speed craft designed to minimise weight while maintaining structural integrity. Operating under the management of Liberty Lines, formerly known as Ustica Lines, she serves passenger ferry routes across Sicilian coastal waters and to the Aeolian Islands. With a service speed of approximately 36 knots and water jet propulsion, the vessel is purpose-built for fast inter-island and coastal passenger transport in the central Mediterranean. Her shallow draft of 1.55 m enables access to smaller island ports and harbours typical of the Sicilian archipelago service network.
