The Finn Challenger
Birth of a Pioneer (Late 2007)
In December 2007, Finnish Ferries commissioned a state-of-the-art RoPax ferry to break speed and efficiency records on the Baltic sea routes. The ship would be called Finn Challenger, in honor of its pioneering waterjet drives. Finnish Ferries' board envisioned a ship that could handle peak holiday seasons as well as dangerous winter ice floes.
Design & Construction (2008–2009)
Diesel-propulsion system
Two waterjets instead of conventional propellers for shallow draft maneuvering
Ice-class 1A super
Two sternramps (starboard and port) for vehicle loading and unloading
Turku Marine Yard laid keel in spring 2008. Over the next 14 months, engineers added a compact diesel system. Pre-fabricated interior modules ashore allowed comfortable seating areas to "plug and play" before launching.
Launch & Maiden Voyage (2010)
Finn Challenger sailed into the Baltic on 15 May 2010. When named in Helsinki, her mayor quipped that she came in "like a dolphin built to pull cars." Two days later, she completed her inaugural Tallinn crossing in 82 minutes—some 20% faster than the previous record.
Career Operation (2010–present)
Daily Excellence

Memorable Moments

Spring 2016: Spent some time on a marine biology survey—her low wake ideal for taking plankton samples
