After successfully introducing the 96m and 98m passenger car and cargo ferries, the Australian builder lncat believed it was time to offer a viable alternative for fast freight transport by sea~*. The proposed vessel, a 112m long concept craft, is a large wave-piercing catamaran, specifically orientated to carrying large payloads at speeds in excess of 40knots. The vessel is to be as versatile as possible in order to service demands of the commercial passenger, freight, and military markets. Diesel power is employed to keep capital and operational expenditure attractive to prospective clients. Overall size of the vessel is optimised to suit 9000kW diesel engines available in the near future.
