The project (As-built Design Documentation) of a high-speed sea-going passenger double-deck catamaran with dynamic foil-assisted lift* — Project HSC200 (Project Code "Primorsky") — for the transport support of the Primorsky Territory and passenger operations between Vladivostok and Bolshoy Kamen (Rus).

Construction Start: May 2024 at the Livadia Repair and Shipbuilding Yard.

* A catamaran with a hydrofoil system integrated within the vessel's beam (or slightly wider), compared to a planing craft of the same speed, consumes 40% less fuel and carries 8% more payload. Compared to traditional Hydrofoil Vessels with fixed foils, this vessel can operate in shallower waters, is less sensitive to overloading, has a lower cost, offers flexibility in propulsion choice, and features a relatively simple foil system design, eliminating the risk of failing to "get on the foil."
