LONG-TERM PASSENGER SERVICE IN ARCHIPELAGO CONDITIONS
M/S Cinderella II is a 41.76-metre passenger ferry equipped with original MJP 550 CSU waterjets. Operating in the Stockholm Archipelago, the vessel provides reliable, quiet and efficient service for sightseeing tours, charter operations and scheduled passenger transport. Since delivery in 1987, M/S Cinderella II has provided stable handling in variable coastal conditions.
The vessel stands as one of Marine Jet Power’s earliest references and highlights the durability and lifecycle value of high-efficiency waterjet propulsion in passenger ferry service.
M/S Cinderella II was developed to operate efficiently in the complex and shallow waters of the Stockholm Archipelago. The vessel’s mission profile requires dependable propulsion, consistent cruising speed and high passenger comfort across long seasonal operations.
Archipelago ferry service involves frequent port approaches, tight maneuvering and repeated acceleration and deceleration cycles. Passenger comfort is a key requirement, making low vibration, smooth ride characteristics and reduced noise essential factors in the propulsion choice.
MJP 550 CSU WATERJETS FOR QUIET AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
Marine Jet Power equipped Cinderella II with MJP 550 CSU mixed-flow waterjets, selected for their balance of thrust, efficiency and operational reliability. The CSU series provides high efficiency across service speeds while maintaining smooth and stable performance.
The waterjet configuration enables:
- Consistent service speed of approximately 24 knots
- Smooth acceleration and responsive maneuverability
- Reduced vibration and onboard noise levels
- Shallow draft operation in coastal and archipelago water
- Long-term durability in high-utilization passenger service
The installation has remained operational for more than three decades, demonstrating the longevity and reliability of MJP waterjet propulsion in commercial ferry applications.
