As disclosed in a social media post, the 40-meter-long newbuildings were delivered to the Bermudan government ahead of schedule. The vessels were designed by Australia’s One2Three Naval Architects.
The handover of the units, which will be able to carry around 550 passengers, marks the first collaboration between Bermuda and the Singaporean vessel construction player, according to officials from Strategic Marine. The parties reportedly shook hands on this project around two years ago.
The environmentally friendly catamarans, which are now ready for deployment in Bermudan waters, are described as having been built with features that would ensure operational efficiency as well as sustainable ferry services.
