The G.T.S. Finnjet that went into service in 1977 counted as the largest passenger ferry and still holds the record as the fastest and most powerful conventional ferry in the world. Due to her unique gas turbine power plant that takes the vessel to a top speed of 30.5 knots in just 3 minutes, the 1,145 km journey from Travemunde to Helsini takes less than 24 hours. There is accommodation for about 1,800 passengers and 380 vehicles on 9 decks. Ample facilities are provided for the well-being of the passengers, such as restaurants, boutiques, cinemas, a fitness centre, an entertainment centre, swimming pool and sauna and a dance hall. The Finnjet, a member of the 1A Super top Finnish ice breaker class, has a length of 212.8 m and an overall weight of 25,908 gross registered tonnes. The Finnjet plied the regular Baltic route until 2005, when, after stays in the USA, the Bahamas and in Italy she was sold to breakers in India in 2008. The Finnjet – one of the largest and fastest passenger ferries in the world – a superlative ship from all points of view.
