Johan Neerman, Power trimaran yacht

Neerman has worked on numerous naval designs including two separate projects with German-Naval architect Herward Oehlmann. In 2000, Neerman designed a low-draft ferry boat for Royal Desnhip in Denmark. The original concept was to build a ferry boat to look like a private yacht. The boat was designed with four engines and a hull that was directly derived from Swedish military techniques by using sandwish polyester. The finished ferry was 45 metres long, high speed and able to carry up to 366 passengers.[3]
