Tokai Kisen, High-Speed Jet Ferry

This is the high-speed jet ferry Seven Islands by Tokai Kisen Co.,Ltd. bound for Oshima Island from Takeshiba in Tokyo.
Jet foil is the official name for the ship type used for the high-speed jet ferry Seven Islands. This ship, developed by a US aircraft manufacturer, is a veritable "jet aircraft of the sea" that uses a jet engine to take in seawater (in place of air) and drive it backward with such force that the vessel is lifted right out of the water.
Conventional hydrofoil vessels are semi-submerged hydrofoils where a portion of the hydrofoil wing juts out of the water. By contrast, the high-speed jet ferry Seven Islands is a fully submerged hydrofoil vessel where the hydrofoil wing is completely submerged. This difference results in greater stability at high speed, to achieve a smoother journey.
The high-speed jet ferry Seven Islands is elevated right out of the water by the force of the hydrofoil wing. This reduces the resistance of seawater on the ship's hull, enabling a top speed of 80km per hour. At the same time, the ship is almost unaffected by wave action and barely bounces at all. It is thus very friendly to people with seasickness.
