CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Incat Company Profile 2
Incat has come a long way since the September 1977 launch
of our first high-speed catamaran at Prince of Wales Bay
in Tasmania, 200 metres from our present site. The journey
forward takes us through to today's generation of large
Ro-Pax wave piercing catamarans, including the world's
fastest ship, which is also the world's first high speed
Ro-Pax ferry operated on environmentally friendly LNG.
Early challenges, with the introduction to service of
prototype craft, were met and improvements made on
production vessels. Our aim is to continue to improve
the breed. The desire to improve is evident in our
dedicated designers and tradespeople, ensuring that
each ship delivered is significantly better than the last.
With four building halls, extensive wharf facilities, a slipway
and two dry-dock areas, Incat boasts innovative production
facilities to construct, launch and deliver small craft through
to larger ships of 150 metres length and of panamax beam.
With Incat vessels proven in regular service We
have achieved an excellent reputation for safety,
speed, reliability, efficiency and ride. These factors, and
importantly passenger comfort, are paramount to us
in designing and constructing the world's best fast ships.
Applications are diverse; whether commuter ferries, large
passenger and freight ships, military and coastguard craft, or
workboats for the offshore industry; whether it's for calm waters
or heavy seas, the Incat product offers optimum transport solutions.
Change in the shipping world's environmental regulations is
a positive for Incat and the high speed industry. Our design
and engineering team have long been focused on maximising
efficiency and fuel economy, and will continue to lead the way.
The advantage of lightweight construction can be a bonus
whether it is for high speed or with lower installed power
and lower speed for an economical fuel saving operation.

service.
