Austal looks for fast trimaran buyer

摘要

A 39knot trimaran is under construction at the Henderson yard in Australia. It is the first of its type being built and Austal and the company believes the hull design is its greatest technological achievement to date.rnWhile boosting its orderbook this year through contracts for two of the largest catamarans in the company's production range, Austal Ships has given added dimension to its construction programme and market offering by way of a new design of trimaran passenger/vehicle ferry. A purchaser is now being sought for the first example of the new class of 39knot, 102m trimaran, which is already taking shape at the Henderson yard in Western Australia, with completion scheduled for early 2010.
