Ever wondered how an electric vessel the size of Hull 096 could be transported across the world?

This animation demonstrates a float-on/float-off heavy-lift shipping operation, a method used to transport large vessels and offshore structures internationally.

The loading operation of Hull 096 will be one of the most complex maritime movements ever undertaken in Tasmania and managed by maritime authorities. Exclusion zones and access restrictions will be in place on the water to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Incat will be capturing the operation and will share photos and video footage publicly after the loading is complete, giving everyone the opportunity to see this historic milestone and how it was achieved.

Heavy Lift Vessel on Route to Hobart for Hull 096🚢🌍

Heavy lift vessel Black Marlin is making its way towards Tasmania, where it will load the world's largest battery-electric ship ahead of its delivery voyage to South America.

At 217 metres long and 42 metres wide, the Black Marlin will be one of the largest vessels ever to enter the River Derwent, setting the stage for a remarkable loading operation unlike anything Tasmania has seen before.

We'll be sharing updates as the vessel makes its way towards Hobart and prepares for one of the most complex maritime operations ever undertaken in Tasmania.

The Future of Ferry Transport Taking Shape in Tasmania ⚡️🛠️

Hull 102 is one of three 129-metre battery-electric ferries currently under construction at our shipyard for Danish operator Molslinjen, forming part of the world’s largest electrification project at sea.

Guided by four decades of innovation, these vessels combine lightweight aluminium shipbuilding with world-leading maritime technology to deliver the next generation of high-speed electric ferries.

Global Attention on Electric Shipbuilding Continues to Grow 🌍⚡️

Renew Economy, one of Australia’s leading publications covering the clean energy transition, recently sat down with Incat Chairman Robert Clifford to discuss the global shift toward large-scale electrification and the role lightweight aluminium ships will play in the future of sustainable transport.

Not a bad setting for the interview either – inside the first-class section of the world’s largest battery-electric ship.

Representing Incat on the International Stage 🌍⚡️

Incat Chairman Robert Clifford and Sean Lowrie from our Projects Team recently travelled to Italy to present at the Shippax Ferry Conference, showcasing Incat’s world-leading electric shipbuilding program to ferry operators and industry leaders from around the globe.

The presentation highlighted why lightweight aluminium construction is critical to the future of sustainable high-speed shipping. Less weight means less energy. By reducing vessel weight, power requirements are significantly lowered, making large-scale battery-electric ships more efficient, more capable, and more commercially viable.

With the world’s largest battery-electric ships currently under construction in Tasmania, interest from global operators continues to grow as the industry looks toward practical, scalable low-emission solutions.

The demand and momentum behind large-scale electric ferry technology has never been stronger.

⚡️ The Future of Ferry Transport ⚓️🌍

Today we unveiled a new video in collaboration with Wärtsilä and Molslinjen, showcasing one of the most significant electrification projects in global maritime history. The video takes you inside the technology and innovation behind three 129-metre battery-electric ferries currently under construction at our Tasmanian shipyard. Once delivered, these vessels will be the largest electric ferries operating in Europe.

Bringing together world-leading expertise in shipbuilding, maritime technology and ferry operations, this project is redefining what’s possible for low-emission transport. Capable of speeds up to 40 knots and supported by rapid 30-minute charging in port, these vessels represent a major step forward in performance, scale, and commercial viability for electric ferry operations.

From Hobart to Denmark, this is the next generation of high-speed, high-capacity, low-emission ferry transport – built through collaboration and driven by innovation.
