Vessel Description

WS SIRIUS is a Brazilian-flagged passenger ferry operating on the inland waterways of the Amazon River Basin under the jurisdiction of Amazonas State. Built in 2019 by Inace Estaleiros, a Brazilian shipyard with significant experience in constructing river vessels adapted to Amazonian conditions, the vessel was designed specifically for regional passenger transport connecting Manaus to remote riverside communities. The vessel's shallow draft configuration reflects the operational demands of the variable water levels characteristic of Amazonian waterways. WS SIRIUS operates as part of a regional fleet providing essential public transportation services to populations with limited access to alternative transit infrastructure throughout the state of Amazonas.
