Pentamaran Concept
The Pentamaran
z
Pentamaran is a slender monohull stabilised by four sponsons, 2

port and 2 starboard.
The main hull is optimised for minimum resistance for a specified

deadweight and speed.
The sponsons are designed and positioned to give the desired

stability characteristics.
The use of the four sponsons instead of two (trimaran) gives

enhanced stability at minimum drag and immunity from
parametric rolling.
Pentamaran gives the lowest possible resistance and powering

and has excellent seakeeping.
Example Pentamaran Container Ship

Waterjet propulsion proven inservice units fixed pitch impellers
in-water maintainability
Patented Pentamaran design.

Stabilised by four sponsons giving
greater stability than conventional
vessels - Redundancy for Damaged
Stability cases.
Open Top design

no hatch covers for
quick turnaround.
All forty-foot bays.
Four or five independent
transmissions. High degree
of redundancy. No special
gearboxes or clutches
Medium speed Diesels with proven

long term in service reliability.
Optimised slender hull for minimum

resistance, low speed loss in waves,
and excellent habitability in rough
conditions

Summary
z
A large range of Pentamarans have been developed:

5000 to 30000 tonnes displacement
35 to 45 knots
1000 to 4000 nautical miles range
Pentamaran preliminary designs are shipyard &

classification society approved.
Pentamaran designs are the most fuel efficient technology

for fast sealift vessels.
