Description
Premium Marine Engineering
The vessel features a robust catamaran hull constructed from marine-grade aluminium alloy 5083 H321, renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and longevity in harsh maritime environments. The superstructure utilises aluminium alloys 5083 and 6061, ensuring structural integrity whilst maintaining optimal performance characteristics.
The catamaran configuration delivers superior stability, reduced rolling motion for passenger comfort, and excellent fuel efficiency compared to monohull designs. With an 18.20-metre length overall and 6.50-metre beam, the vessel provides generous deck space whilst maintaining manoeuvrability in coastal waters.
Design Compliance
Engineered to comply with AMSA National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Parts C, D, and E, ensuring comprehensive regulatory alignment for Australian coastal operations.
Draft (Loaded)
Approx. 1.30 metres
Operational Capabilities
Passenger Capacity & Certification
The vessel is designed to safely accommodate 100 passengers plus a crew complement of 2-3 persons, as per the approved stability booklet. This capacity makes it ideal for high-volume tourist routes, island hopping services, and scheduled ferry operations.
Certified for Coastal navigation under AMSA regulations, the vessel is suitable for operations along protected coastlines and within designated coastal limits. The construction will be undertaken under survey to achieve full AMSA Certificate of Operation, ensuring complete regulatory compliance from day one.
Survey Compliance
Built under continuous survey supervision to meet all requirements for AMSA Certificate of Operation, providing operators with confidence in regulatory compliance and passenger safety standards.
