The ship is named after the Tindaya mountain on Fuerteventura.
Design and construction[edit]
Volcán de Tindaya was built in Vigo, Spain by Hijos de J. Barreras. The vessel is 78.10 metres (256.2 ft) long, 15.50 metres (50.9 ft) wide, and has a draught of 3.3 metres (11 ft). It has a service speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph).[2]
The vessel is powered by two main diesel engines, each capable of providing 2,600 kilowatts (3,500 hp) of power, and two auxiliary diesel engines, each capable of providing 550 kilowatts (740 hp) of power. The diesel engines drive two 315 rpm propellers. The ship also has two transverse 330 kW electrically driven bow thrusters.[2]
The ship can transport up to 700 passengers (including crew) and 120 vehicles over a range of approximately 2,600 miles (4,200 km). Passengers are distributed over three decks and there is a single vehicle deck.[2][3]
