Vessel Description

FLY MARLIN is a high-speed passenger and cargo ferry built in 1996 at Cantieri Navali di Sestri in Genoa, Italy. Designed for regional inter-island service in the Eastern Caribbean, the vessel combines passenger accommodation with ro-ro or lift-on/lift-off cargo capability suited to short-sea shipping routes. Registered under the flag of Dominica with a Roseau port of registry, the vessel reflects the operational demands of Caribbean island connectivity, offering relatively fast transit times between island destinations. Her twin-screw diesel propulsion supports the service speed requirements typical of ferry operations in the region.
