P19

The P19 is a 66-seat high-speed passenger boat designed for busy tourist routes. It meets the VR-SI/SB classification standards for both river and sea operations.

Therefore, the main goal of the P19 is to reduce the cost per seat and enhance passenger experience, helping operators maximize profit margins during peak season and maintain stable operation year-round.

Durable FRP Material – Optimal Maintenance Costs

The FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) composite hull is lightweight, anti-corrosive, and better suited for the marine environment compared to traditional materials. This results in very low annual maintenance costs and shorter maintenance times, ensuring a high readiness rate for the fleet. The commercial-grade surface finish makes the boat easy to clean and keep looking new, ideal for continuously operating fleets.

66-Passenger Capacity – Optimized Operating Cost per Seat

The 66-seat design lowers the operating cost per seat, providing an advantage when pricing tickets or offering charter packages for large groups. With wide aisles and scientifically arranged seating, passengers can board and disembark easily and quickly. This minimizes waiting time at the dock and helps increase the number of trips per day – a crucial operational factor for maximizing revenue on rapidly developing island routes.

Speed and Efficiency

The P19 is equipped with two 550 HP engines, achieving a maximum speed of about 50 km/h under standard conditions. At cruising speed, the boat maintains stable heading and good smoothness, shortening travel time without compromising passenger comfort. This efficiency is especially useful for routes with multiple daily trips or transfer routes between resorts and central ports.

Optimized Hull Form – The Result of 25 Years of Experience

The hull bottom is optimized for high-speed offshore travel by the Song Lo Boat design team, leveraging 25 years of experience in building FRP composite passenger vessels. The hull shape is refined for smooth wave-riding, reduced impact, better fuel economy, and less fatigue for the crew during long shifts. This accumulated expertise allows the P19 to achieve a balance between speed, stability, and fuel consumption.

International Standard Equipment

Onboard equipment is sourced from reputable brands: Icom (communication), BEP Marine (electrical equipment & circuit distribution), Vetus (mechanical/auxiliary equipment), etc. Component standardization ensures a reliable operating system and easy replacement, while also maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the cockpit/cabin – a vital factor for high-standard tourist routes.

Comfortable Experience in All Weather Conditions

The enclosed cabin combined with flexible sliding windows allows passengers to enjoy the view while staying dry in the rain or wind. The minimalist – modern style focuses on function: easy to clean, resistant to stains, and colorfast in a humid, salty environment. Seats, handrails, and storage compartments are optimally arranged for comfort and safety, suitable for both tourist routes and resort-to-port transfers.

Operational Safety

The P19 passenger boat meets the VR-SI/SB classification standards. Lighting, life-saving, and escape systems are arranged according to current regulations, giving operators peace of mind when launching new routes, expanding their fleet, and standardizing operations.
