In 2015, Vincenzo Onorato acquired 100% of the Naples-based ferry company Tirrenia – Compagnia italiana di navigazione, which became a part of the Onorato Armatori group. [1] Vincenzo Onorato also owns the ferry company Moby Lines and Toremar. His ferry group is the world's leader in beds capacity, and the European leader in passengers capacity (47 ships, 41,000 departures). He claims his company hires only Italian seafarers, and lobbies against competitors using non-EU labor to drive prices down. He argues that hiring an Italian-only staff costs his group 25 to 30 million euros more every year. [2] In May 2019, he announced the acquisition of the cargo ship Maria Grazia Onorato with a message on the side that says "Honored for Italian seafarers" (pun, Onorato per i marittimi italiani) [3]
A catamaran is a multi-hulled watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size. It is a geometry-stabilized craft, deriving its stability from its wide beam, rather than from a ballasted keel as with a monohull boat. Catamarans typically have less hull volume, smaller displacement, and shallower draft (draught) than monohulls of comparable length. The two hulls combined also often have a smaller hydrodynamic resistance than comparable monohulls, requiring less propulsive power from either sails or motors. The catamaran's wider stance on the water can reduce both heeling and wave-induced motion, as compared with a monohull, and can give reduced wakes.
