During several decades commercial boat construction was dominated by the use of metallic materials. The modern requirements for commercial boat operation such as speed, saekeeping, fuel consumption, and operating coast have led to an evolution of both hull designs and the structural materials used in the construction of these vessels. This can be seen in the changes that have occured with the past and present passenger boat programs around the world. The use of composite materials and hull design optimization have both contributed to the evolution of this kind of transportation. In just the past ten years the merging of these new materials and composite construction concept have helped to introduce efficient and safe catamaran designs for passenger ferries all over the world. New rules for classification of composite passenger craft and ferries are establishing requirements for structure, impact and damage stability, and especially fire safety. Some cases of commercial craft describing design, composite construction, structural analysis, plus construction and operating costs will be presented.
