Shenzhen is now home to a new ferry, the 200-passenger Peng Xing 15, as made by AFAI Southern Shipyard, reports MarineLog.

Designed by CoCo Yachts B.V. of Heukelum, Netherlands and attaining a contract speed of 31.5 knots, the Peng Xing will be joined by its sister ferry currently being shipped over. An order of another three CoCo ferries of a slightly different version has already been placed, making a total of five ships to join the passenger line.

The Peng Xing line of ferries is run by Chu Kong Passenger Transport which operates ferries with ports in Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau, and various cities in Guangdong Province.

We imagine additional ferries may improve service and travel times, but details haven’t been released at this time regarding destinations and scheduling. Of note, however, are the two VIP cabins on the upper deck that can allow for five passengers each; maybe some of you will get to travel across the ocean in snazzy VIP style.
