Vessel Description

MARMARA PRINCESS is a Panamanian-flagged passenger vessel built in 1983 at the Hitzler Werft shipyard in Germany. With a gross tonnage of 4,253 GT and an overall length of approximately 102 meters, the vessel is configured for passenger ferry operations. Her relatively shallow draft of 3.9 meters and twin-screw diesel propulsion arrangement make her suited for sheltered coastal and inland sea routes. The vessel's name strongly suggests historical or current operational ties to the Sea of Marmara region in northwestern Turkey, a busy maritime corridor connecting the Black Sea to the Aegean. As an older vessel constructed in the early 1980s, she represents a generation of purpose-built short-sea passenger ferries common to the Eastern Mediterranean ferry trade.
