Verdens mest usædvanlige færge

Det er nok en af verdens mest usædvanlige færger der i sidste uge blev søsat i Ketchikan, Alaska. Susitna er bygget som en katamaran bilfærge, men ustyret med et sænkbart bildæk der gør, at færgen kan sejle næsten helt ind på land.

Færgens sænkbare bildæk gør, at den kan variere sin dybgang helt ned til 4 fod, og dermed i praksis fungere som et landgangsfartøj. Når bildækket omvendt er hejst helt op, kan det krydse hen over havet i høj fart.

Konceptet har det amerikanske forsvars store bevågenhed, og forsvarsministeriet har da også betalt en stor del af udviklingsomkostningerne.

Når færgen er færdigmonteret, afprøvet og godkendt, vil den blive sat in på Knik Arm mellem Anchorage og Point MacKenzie i Alaska.

Ud over det meget usædvanlige design er Susitna også den første isbrydende catamaran.
