Description
Danubiumbus 15 – Electric Passenger Catamaran for SaleThe Danubiumbus 15, built in 2015 by the shipyard Marinastudio.hr, is an aluminum catamaran designed for passenger transport on inland waters. This vessel was specifically developed for panoramic cruises and served as a tourist boat on the Danube in the Vukovar region of Croatia from 2015 to 2022. Since then, the ship has been stored in a marina on the Danube.General OverviewThe Danubiumbus 15 is a single-deck catamaran with a superstructure and a multifunctional salon that can accommodate up to 60 passengers. The salon is equipped with panoramic windows for optimal views of the surroundings. A notable feature is the illuminated ceiling with a map of the region, adding a visual element during evening cruises.The hull is entirely made of aluminum, contributing to a relatively low weight and corrosion resistance. The dimensions of the ship are as follows:Overall length: approx. 15.00 metersWidth without fenders: approx. 5.60 metersWidth with fenders: approx. 5.80 metersDraft: approx. 0.70 metersAir draft: approx. 3.20 metersInterior headroom: approx. 2.20 metersDisplacement (unladen): approx. 13.50 tonsDisplacement (laden): approx. 18.70 tonsLoad capacity: approx. 5.2 tonsPropulsion and Power SupplyThe propulsion of the Danubiumbus 15 consists of two electric motors, each 30 kW. These are powered by battery packs located in both hull sections and connected in parallel. The boat also has a shore power connection (220 VAC) and solar panels on the roof of the passenger area, contributing to the onboard power supply.The electric propulsion is fully automated and operated from the wheelhouse. No separate engine room crew is required. The cruising speed on calm water is approximately 13 km/h.Technical Condition and MaintenanceThe boat has not been in use since 2022 and is currently in storage. The last antifouling treatment was in 2015. The batteries have been tested and are functioning, as well as the electric motors. An investment of approximately €10,000 to €15,000 is needed for renewed operational deployment. This includes replacing window seals and installing new flooring. Alternatively, the electric motors can be replaced with two outboard motors.Registration and DocumentationThe Danubiumbus 15 is registered with the Croatian Register of Shipping under registration number 55397 and ENI number 35055397.
