Vessel Description

SALAM 5 is an Egyptian-flagged passenger and ro-ro cargo ferry operated by El Salam Maritime Transport, one of Egypt's prominent ferry operators. Built in Italy in 1994, the vessel was designed to carry both passengers and wheeled cargo, making it suitable for the short-to-medium distance routes across the Red Sea connecting Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The vessel is part of a fleet that has historically served pilgrims, migrant workers, and general passengers traveling between the two countries. As a combined passenger and ro-ro vessel, she features vehicle decks capable of accommodating trucks, buses, and private vehicles alongside passenger accommodation spaces.
