freight capacity per vessel is 768,000tons
based on an 8,000 tons payload capacity per vessel. The estimated volume of air freight and multiple modes & mail are shown in Table 17 and Table 18 respectively for the proposed routes. Based on the annual freight capacity per vessel and the estimated freight volumes, the annual replacement capacity per vessel for each routes is shown in Table 19. This shows that a single vessel on each route would provide over capacity for air freight replacement but by 2040 a single vessel could replace a maximum of 52% of air freight on the routes. However, in terms of multiple modes & mail, each route could have 10 vessels, which would replace a maximum of 20% of freight in 2040.

For the transatlantic routes shown in Table 16, the average number of journeys in both directions annually is 96. Resulting in an annual passenger capacity per vessel of 46,080. From the estimated volume of HNWI shown in Table 6 for US resident travel to Europe in 2012 the passenger capacity of a single vessel for each route is shown in Table 20 as a percentage of the estimated volume of HNWIs. Apart
from the Netherlands the
highest replacement capacity based on 2012 estimations is 28%.

Considering the UK to US business passenger market discussed in Section 2.2. The combined annual volume of business travel for JFK and Newark in 2007 was 970,000 passengers. While the total UK to US business sector market was 3.7 million, the use of connecting flights would detract from the experience and design meaning advantages of the Transatlantic superliner. So it was decided to focus on the direct Southampton to New York passengers. The estimated volume that would use the vessel would be 194,000 passengers based on the 20% higher income bracket of £115,000 for the group. This volume of passengers would require four vessels.
If the Southampton to New York
effectively marketed to 8.6% of the 1.1 million US households of HNWI, with average annual
3. DESIGN PROCESS
The design process began with the exterior form, which was developed over an underlay of the ADX platform. Once the initial form was developed a representation CAD form was developed to interrogate the volume to determine if there was sufficient deck space on the GA to
