Australian ship designer Incat Crowther has launched an 18-metre catamaran passenger ferry for Australian operator Inter Island Ferries. 'James Grant' is the fourth vessel Incat Crowther has designed for the operator.
This vessel is the first passenger ferry to feature Incat Crowther's latest hull form. The vessel reaches a top speed of 27 knots at full load with only 339kW.
The vessel will carry 100 passengers, with boarding via side gates aft. Across the aft bulwark is a large luggage rack. The aft deck also features two WC compartments and stairs to the upper deck, while the main passenger cabin features 64 seats.
