🚢 Big news from Hobart!

Incat Tasmania has secured a landmark contract to design and build two world-leading battery-electric ferries for Danish operator MOLSLINJEN, part of the largest electrification project at sea.

Each 129-metre vessel will be powered by around 45,000 kWh of battery capacity, carrying up to 1,483 passengers and 500 cars across Denmark’s busy Kattegat route.

It’s a proud moment for Tasmania, and a big step for sustainable shipbuilding on the global stage.

INCAT OFFERS INNOVATIVE ZERO EMISSION SHIPS TO THE WORLD FERRY MARKET!

With the 47th annual Interferry Conference being held in Hobart, Incat Tasmania has unveiled exciting new plans to do for short sea ferry services what Boeing did for the aviation industry, but with zero emissions.

We have ambitions for Incat to make zero emission battery electric vessels more readily available for the world and are working on an expansion plan to enable the Incat shipyard to produce multiple battery electric vessels each year.

We have launched the first design of a series produced 70 metre ship which will ensure costs for these new battery electric vessels are minimised, whilst producing them to the highest standards.

Incat will build these ships to its trademark high-quality design and every customer will have the ability to create their own statement with each vessel through internal fixtures, fittings and design. And if they want a bespoke option, we can design that too.

Our shipyard is ideally placed to produce multiple smaller 70 metre vessels as well as a larger vessel over 140 metres every year.

Battery electric propulsion coupled with lightweight aluminium constructed ships on shorter sea routes will be the ideal choice to cut emissions.

Our plan is to revolutionise the world shipping industry once again by delivering more zero emission ships more efficiently than anyone else. This will benefit ferry owners, their customers, and importantly, our environment.

Incat is proud to be leading the world in the transition to zero emission passenger and vehicle ferries.

As Tasmania prepares to welcome 47th annual Interferry conference, speaking in Cruise & Ferry Review the global industry association's CEO Mike Corrigan says "Australia is the cradle of the world’s largest vehicle-carrying high-speed ferries with Hobart being home of Incat Tasmania". During our technical tour, Incat’s Robert Clifford, an Interferry board member, will join managing directors Kim and Craig Clifford to give delegates a truly unique up-close look at the inner workings of the Incat shipyard. They will also see Buquebus's 130E electric wave-piercing catamaran, the world’s largest zero-emissions lightweight ro-pax ferry, under construction."

With the mitigation of climate change being high on our agenda, sustainability will take centre stage at our 47th annual conference, which will be held in Hobart, Tasmania, from 4-8 November 2023. However, as will be highlighted by our distinguished keynote speakers, Australian tourism legend Rob Pe...
