  Hydrofoils & Chesapeake Ferries

  Mark Rice, President Jeanne Torstenson, Naval Architect Maritime Applied Physics Corp.

  Non-traditional transportation solutions have been growing, driven by increasing energy costs and
  emissions constraints, and water transportation itself is increasingly seen as part of the solution to
  land transportation problems. A ship or ferry may offer a shorter direct route or relieve congested
  highways by means of parallel water routes.
  New technologies receive much attention, but some that have been around awhile are particularly
  relevant now. The hydrofoil is a prime example. It can substantially reduce the power and fuel
  consumption to make a respectable speed and can be highly cost-effective.
  Maritime Applied Physics Corporation has been developing new passenger hydrofoil designs and has
  also done the groundwork for some specific ferry routes on the Chesapeake Bay. They will present
  both their hydrofoil designs and their concepts for hydrofoil passenger services on the Chesapeake.

  Mark Rice is President of the Maritime Applied Physics Corporation, which designs and
  manufactures military systems and vehicles and also conducts R&D for DARPA, ONR, NAVSEA
  and several shipbuilders. He formed MAPC in 1986 after working at the Naval Ocean Systems
  Center, in Hawaii, and the Carderock Division of NSWC. He has a degree in physics from the
  University of Maine and is a licensed Professional Engineer.

  Jeanne Torstenson has led design teams at MAPC involved with hydrofoils, HYSWAS ships, and
  sealift vessels. She has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Webb Institute of Naval
  Architecture and is a licensed Professional Engineer in naval architecture.
