Built in Aker Finnyards in Rauma, Finland, Ulysses was constructed between mid 1999 and Feb. 2001 at a total cost of €100 million! It stands 12 decks high and its gross tonnage is 50,938 tonnes and is the largest car ferry in the world!
Towering over other vessels at a height of 167 feet (51 metres) from keel to mast. With almost 3 miles of parking space for 1,342 cars or 240 articulated trucks per sailing no other passenger car ferry in the world can match its vehicle carrying capacity.
Ulysses operates two return sailings between Dublin Port and Holyhead each day with a sailing time of just over three hours. This means that in just one single day of operations, she has the capacity to transport 5,368 cars or 960 articulated trucks across the Irish Sea!
Most importantly though, Ulysses can carry up to 2,000 passengers and crew on board per sailing!
