Incat Tasmania delivered an Incat hull 037 named Sunflower as its first vessel in South Korea in 1995.

Incat Tasmania chairman Robert Clifford said: “Sunflower served Ulleung island for 25 years and was only recently retired by Daezer in compliance with South Korean ship age limits.

“This new craft will benefit from Incat’s evolved tried and proven hull form, with its new bow arrangement, and will lead the local market in terms of seakeeping for vessels of its size. The 76m is expected to be a successful model for the future with the first of this type due for delivery to another South Korean operator, SeaWorld Express Ferries, at the end of March this year.”

Incat Tasmania CEO Tim Burnell added: “At Incat we are fortunate to have the best quality, most highly experienced workforce in the global fast ferry industry, and we are pleased to add this new vessel to those recently delivered to our customers around the world.”

In 2019, Incat Tasmania commissioned a new 111m vessel, which was developed in Prince of Wales Bay shipyard in Hobart for Spanish firm Naviera Armas.
