"This ferry design is a result of [Incat’s] expertise in developing fuel-efficient solutions that offer operators a commercial advantage."

With a capacity to accommodate 200 passengers, the vessels will serve them through mid-ship boarding doors and forward-facing seating.

The new design also features four seats for crew members and offers a six-person crew room and kiosk, as well as three heads at the aft end of the cabin.

Moreover, the upper deck of the vessels will feature the wheelhouse with better all-round visibility.

This contract for four vessels is endorsement of Incat Crowther’s expertise in developing fuel-efficient solutions that offer operators a commercial advantage.

In June, the company received a contract to design a pair of 41m catamaran passenger ferries for WETA of San Francisco. These vessels will be built by Kvichak Marine Industries.
