High-speed powered trail in heavy irregular seas at 45 degree angle to wave direction. The average wave size in this trial is 18 feet and each wave peak occurs at a 10 second interval (very closely spaced).

High-speed powered trail in heavy irregular seas at 45 degree angle to wave direction. A 45 degree angle represents the most strenuous test of the ship and its sea-keeping ability.

High-speed powered trail in heavy regular seas at 0 degree angle to wave direction. The ship shows almost no effect from the wave action.

Pentamaran Ship Technology - Performance of the Pentamaran Ship

In order to confirm the benefits of the Pentamaran design, it has been extensively tested at leading European facilities in simulated sea trials using a 30 foot replica. Every major ship design advancement, from the Queen Mary II to the Navy’s aircraft carriers, has successfully passed similar tests as a routine part of marine engineering.

SeaBridge has created a proprietary ship design which has considerable advantages over conventional ships including higher speed, greater fuel efficiency, and better sea-keeping (handling and comfort qualities). The Pentamaran is a significant and valuable asset representing the highest state of ship technology in the industry today.

The tests seen here are meant to stress-test the ship and simulate every imaginable operating condition including very high waves, irregularly spaced waves, maximum speeds, and other demanding conditions. The ship replica moves under its own power and is outfitted with dozens of sensing devices that convey data back to a central computer for processing. Results of these trials have confirmed that no conventional ship can match the performance of this asset class.
