Indonesian tourism operator Bali Hai Cruises has awarded a contract to International Maritime Consultants (IMC) to design its next-generation day cruise catamaran.

Under the terms of the deal, IMC will provide the fully functional design for the new vessel as well as assist the cruise operator in selecting a shipyard to undertake the construction works.

The newly developed design will feature a dual propulsion system comprising of diesel and electric solution, which will enable the new vessel to cruise at a speed of 25k.

The new 40m-long aluminium catamaran design will use the all-electric mode during the evening dinner cruise reducing the noise and emissions significantly.

The Western Australian naval architecture consultancy will support IMC to provide these environmental and operational benefits.

The vessel will be capable of accommodating 400 passengers in a contemporary tropical interior and will be an enhanced version of the cruise operator’s 36m-long, 315 passenger Bali Hai II which Bali Hai Cruises has been operating for more than two decades.
