Mr. Chip:

This is to let you know that I am not a ferry boat service operator and I do not pretend to be an expert on monohull boats. I, however also know that “little knowledge is dangerous” from the time I studied engineering up to now having obtain my professional engineering license to practice in one of the jurisdictions regulated by the National Council of Engineering Examiners(NCEE).

Because of my limited knowledge up to now, I research before saying anything, although I came across some of these things having been a consulting engineer and designer of marinas, shore facilities, and tourist related facilities.

That is why I know when I said the speed (which I computed) required for the ferry service that is proposed for Pangasinan is not the usual speed for a monohull boat, a catamaran type boat is one of those boat types that has the speed and stability.

The plan is ambitious, but I wonder if there will be enough tourist traffic to support it to be economically feasible.
