Austal's 102-metre high-speed trimaran ferry has won the Manufacturer's Monthly Industrial Product of the Year Award at the 2010 Endeavour Awards held in Sydney, Australia.
Judges of the award praised the vessel's ability to use less power than other high-speed craft operating at similar speeds, noting the lower fuel consumption and improved operating economy.
"Austal has showcased an impressive application which uses less fuel to gain higher speeds, which is an imperative feature for transport in both commercial and defence applications in today's day and age," the judges said.
The vessel, which is nearing completion at Austal's Western Australian shipyard, is currently available for sale.
