Incat has announced the completion of construction of the rollback of Hull 102 at its Prince of Wales Bay shipyard.
The rollback marks a major milestone in its electric ferry programme for Danish operator Molslinjen, and will allow for the installation of the 129-metre battery-electric ferry’s passenger deck superstructures.
One of three 129-metre battery-electric ferries being built by Incat for Molslinjen; construction of Hull 102 forms part of the world’s largest electrification project at sea, and, once delivered, will be one of the largest electric ferries operating in Europe.
Incat Chairman Robert Clifford said:This is an important milestone, not just for this vessel, but for the entire programme.
These ships are at the forefront of the global transition to sustainable high-speed ferry transport, and every step forward reinforces Tasmania’s place at the centre of that transformation.
The successful completion of today’s rollback is a credit to our workforce. It was a complex operation carried out with professionalism and precision, and it highlights the capability and commitment of our team.
