Rodman will begin the construction of a new 26 m long passenger catamaran of its Rodman 80 model. With the option of a second twin ship, the Galician leader company expresses its satisfaction for the confidence placed by the Canary shipping company, one of the most important in our country, on the professional Rodman ships

In recent years, Rodman has successfully designed, built and delivered different types of catamarans, not only of passengers, but also for other uses, such as hydrographic and research catamarans or offshore catamarans supporting marine wind power platforms.

The experience gained in this type of construction places Rodman as one of the European reference yards in this type of ship.

The new ship, which will begin to be built in the coming days, will mark a new milestone for Rodman, as it is one of the most important shipowners in our country, who are firmly engaged in the transport of passengers of quality and comfort.

After several months of negotiations, the canarian shipping company Fred. Olsen Express, has trusted Rodman to carry out the expansion of his current fleet of ships. This new Rodman 80, has been specifically designed for the transport of passengers without a vehicle, focused on tour tourism, in accordance with the requirements established by the shipowner.

The new Rodman 80, 26 m long and 9.80 m manga, will have a capacity for 250 passengers and will install two 1,450 hp engines each. In addition, they will have indoor and outdoor cover, very demanded among the tourist public, as well as bar service - cafe and on-board entertainment.

The construction of this new catamaran represents a new challenge for the shipyard, where it will perfectly combine all its experience and qualification in the construction of this type of boat, with its standard quality standards and with the requirements required by its shipowner.

The achievement of this new contract consolidates Rodman's position as one of the world's leaders in the construction of professional boats in PRFV. All professional and recreational ships, built by the shipyard, are recognized and highly valued by the most demanding shipowners, as well as by governmental organizations and administrations around the world.
