DFe 3508
The DFe 3508 is a 35 meter site-seeing catamaran vessel, operated out of Liuzhou on the Liu River.[1] She was built by AFAI Southern Shipyard, to a design from the Damen Group, and is equipped with a VIP room and a conference room.[2] She is capable of catering specialty meals for passengers.
She was paid for by the Liuzhou Yinliu Hotel Management firm for the use of Liuzhou, so city officials, and VIP guests could hold official meetings and sightseeing tours along the Liujiang River.[2]
Damen's internal numbering for ship designs has the last two digits specify the design's width, in meters, and uses the digits preceding this for the vessel's length, so the vessel's length is 35 metres (115 ft), and her width is 8 metres (26 ft). She was scheduled to be delivered in 2013.
