Seawise Trinite (65m RoPax ferry!)
Solution for now is to turn player damage off.
In the midst of the arctic trade boom, Seawise ordered a ship that could conduct voyages to the arctic. Originally, she was supposed to be the same size as Seawise Argonaut, which was previously built 5 months ago. Her keel was laid down 6 months later as "hull number 26" however, during her construction, her design was changed multiple times, with the first revision, only moving the ramp to the stern. The second revision included revising the entire bow section, which was fortunately not built yet. It also included lengthening the ship, from a short 30 meters to 45 meters. On the third, final, and biggest revision, it included revamping the entire superstructure, which took inspiration from Japanese ferries. the design saw lengthening it once again from 45 meters to 60 meters…
Upon launch, she was the longest and biggest car ferry Seawise had, with a slim and elegant superstructure, almost spanning the entire length of she ship, and a strikingly massive funnel. She was unique from her fleetmates, the Seawise fleet only consisted of LCT-style ferries, which had their ramp at the bow. When waves got high, the ramp would often absorb the entire force of the waves and they were prone to just breaking off or cracking under stress.
After her fitting-out, she was, qouted by the shipbuilders, "Eye-achingly beautiful". her massive superstructure, compensated by the towering funnel, created an elegant ship for Seawise. However, during her sea-trials, due to her scheer length, she was known by her captains and officers to be painfully unmanuverable, often requiring to activate her bow thrusters at high speed, which was not good for the maintenance. After her sea trials, she was sent on a short maiden voyage from MP island, her shipbuilders, to North harbor, Seawise’s headquarters. After her maiden voyage, she was sent for arctic routes she was built for and serves the route till today. There were no accidents that happened since.
her design is based off of Sunflower 8 of MOL which is the first image
Update
Added fire extinguishers on deck
repainted the Seawise Livery
Huge thanks to NeatNaut for the livery inspiration!
How to Start
Head to the two hinged doors, located at either side on the cardeck marked as "engine RM." go down to the stairs and head to the stern part of the ship marked as "electrical room" all you need to do is to activate the four breakers. Head forward to the engine control room, which the the room that has windows facing the engines. Just find the key to start the two main engines and you are now ready to go.
There are also reversers in the engine room, which is the toggle buttons below the throttle levers, it is not recomended to press these buttons. Press the reverse buttons located at the bridge instead to reverse.
19 knots max speed
235 KM max range at 15 knots (0.15%) throttle
Balance your cargo well, this ship uses a combination of Passive and Active stabilization, although the Active stabilization is not very effective at levelling the ship. You should properly use the four ballasts to level your ship to prevent it from capsizing.
Keep in mind the cargo you load, Since Stormworks has a janky weight/bouyancy system, Seawise Trinite can only hold so much before sinking/capsizing, I do not recommend loading any heavy vehicles, especially oil trucks, as fluid in this game is unusually heavy.
Huge thanks to NeatNaut for everything, from feedback, comments, suggestions, motivation, and the livery for this ship!

FAQ:
Why does my ship sink/capsize when I load certain vehicles to it?

Why is my ship missing some parts upon spawn and it sinks?
SPAWN HER WITH MISSION!
I cannot find a place to dock her!
You need to install a ferry dock mod.
Will you add Stormlink compatability?
Unfortunately, this time, no. She is too large to be practical for use. Use Seawise West or Seawise Argonaut instead.
Will you add a sink feature?
No.
