The Fastest & Biggest Catamaran Ferries

The Fastest Ferry

All fast catamaran connections in europe, the largest catamaran ferry, images of the highest-speed catamarans in the world.

Catamaran Ferries are faster than traditional ‘monohull' ferries. These ferries can achieve much higher speeds. In Europe, you have several of these fast catamaran connections that you can take.

Take for instance the ferry on the connection between Hirtshals and Kristiansand:

The Franciso ferry remains the fastest ferry, built by Incat:

HSC Francisco is a High-Speed Catamaran built by Incat in Hobart, Tasmania. Powered by liquefied natural gas, she is currently the fastest passenger ship in service, reaching a speed of 58 knots (107 km/h; 67 mph). The propulsion is by two GE LM2500 water jets. Connecting Buenos Aires with Montevideo .

A ferry connection is considered fast if more than 40 knots can be achieved. Only ferry catamarans make this. Boats that are often high and therefore have less friction with the water.

Catamaran connections in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea

• Aarhus – Odden
• Rønne – Ystad (2 pieces)
• Gothenburg (Sweden) – Frederikshavn (Denmark)
• Gran Canaria – Fuerteventura ( Leonora Christina )
• Hirtshals (Denmark) and Kristiansand (Norway)
• Viking FSTR – Helsinki to Tallinn (Very fast!)

You also have these ferries in the British Isles, including from Stranraer to Belfast and ferries from England to the Channel Islands. Since these often change locations, it is difficult to pin them to one location or connection.

You also recently have more of these High-Speed ​​ferries available around Greece.

The largest diesel-powered catamaran ferry is the  HSC Express 1 and 2  between Aarhus and Odden (as well as Rønne and Ystad) in Denmark. More information about this catamaran can be found  here on Wikipedia  . The newer variants of this Ferry. For example, the HSC Express 3 is slightly smaller, so it may well be the case that these will remain the fastest and largest catamarans in the world for a very long time.

UPDATE: By the way, the  Express 5  will eventually become the largest.

Sometimes you hear that the Hodor pleasure yacht (  Astilleros Armon  ) is the largest catamaran with 60 meters, but this is incorrect. It is much smaller than the HSC Express at  112.6 meters .

The White Blue ferry is the Iris 6.1 Catamaran Passenger Ferry. I think the project failed:

” The philosophy underpinning the design concept was the need to achieve three important targets. Most importantly, it had to be able to transport passengers in comfort. In order to impose a mimimal environmental impact on ports, estuaries and banks, it had to generate a low wake at all operational speeds. Lastly, it had to meet these standards without negatively influencing the hull form, which was designed to maximise speed and economy.”

The ferry is still active somewhere in Croatia. When you spot it let us know 🙂

EXPRESS 5 THE NEW BIGGEST FAST Ferry ON THE WAY TO BORNHOLM

When in 2018 BORNHOLM LINE took over ferry transport to Bornholm, thereby significantly reducing ticket prices - the number of visitors to the island increased rapidly and set new records in 2019. The increase in visitors to the island also had the desired effect. The tourism industry and related businesses on Bornholm have created new growth and new jobs. However, the greater number of visitors to the island created a problem with finding places for them on the ferries. From the outset, it turned out that there were not enough connections on the most important route between Rønne and Ystad. BORNHOLM LINE announced at a press conference in autumn 2019 that the world's largest high-speed ferry will be delivered to Bornholm in spring 2022.

Construction of the EXPRESS 5 ferry

The largest high-speed ferry in the world, Express 5, is produced in the Australian shipyards in Cebu, Philippines and Vung Tau, Vietnam. Currently, around 200 men are working to prepare the high-speed ferry by spring 2022, and as construction progresses, more staff will be assigned to the project. All parts of the ship will be finally assembled at the Philippine Austal shipyard, where the high-speed ferry will be completed and then tested. Construction began on July 8, 2020, and will take almost two years.

EXPRESS 5 The new BORNHOLM LINE high-speed ferry

The Express 5 will be the largest catamaran in the world with a capacity of 1,610 passengers and 450 cars and will travel at a speed of 37 knots. It is powered by a medium-speed LNG-adapted power plant that offers a powerful, yet an economical and environmentally friendly solution.

Largest catamaran ferry built in philippine shipyard delivered to denmark.

The largest catamaran passenger fast ferry built in a Philippine shipyard, fitted with hybrid-fuel engine technology for lower emissions and greater economy, has been delivered on schedule to shipping company Molslinjen of Denmark.

Express 5, the sleek-looking 115-meter high-speed ferry built in the Austal Philippines shipyard is the largest vessel constructed in the company’s 35-year history. The catamaran ferry will ply the route between Ystad in Sweden and Rønne, the largest town on the Danish island of Bornholm.

Following its fit-out work in the last quarter of 2022, the catamaran ferry was scheduled for delivery early in the first quarter of this year. Express 5 finally set sail for Rønne, Denmark on March 24, 2023, after the successful completion of sea trials in Balamban, Cebu.

The catamaran ferry boasts of the following features:

• Capacity for 1,610 passengers
• Space for 450 cars (or 617 lane metres for trucks plus 257 cars)
• 2 vehicle decks
• Operating service speed of 37 knots
• Powered by an LNG-capable, medium-speed power plant that offers a powerful yet economic and environmentally friendly solution
• Leather-appointed reclining seats with USB ports
• Full bistro and bar
• Children’s play area
• Multiple audio-visual screens

The Express 5 was designed by the Austal Australia team to include Austal’s proprietary Motion Control and MARINELINK-Smart systems that help deliver a smoother journey for passengers and crew and a more efficient, better performing, ‘smart’ ship for operators. The vessel

Austal Limited Chief Executive Officer Paddy Gregg said the delivery of Express 5 was a testament to the resilience and capabilities of the Austal Philippines team who constructed the vessel through the COVID pandemic and following the effects of Super Typhoon Rai in 2021.

“Express 5 is the largest vessel, by volume, that Austal has ever constructed, and to deliver this new high-speed ferry despite the impact of the COVID pandemic over 2020 – 2022, and Super Typhoon Rai in 2021, is simply outstanding.

“Despite the challenges faced, the Austal Philippines team has delivered the most impressive vessel ever to join the Molslinjen fleet. The high-speed ferry performed exceptionally well during sea trials and will soon provide a class-leading service to Bornholm in Denmark,” Gregg said.

At the delivery ceremony, Austal Philippines President Wayne Murray praised his team for delivering 21 vessels from the Balamban, Cebu shipyard in just 10 years.

“Express 5 is the 21st ship delivered to an overseas operator by Austal Philippines, highlighting the tremendous value added to the Philippines shipbuilding industry since 2012.

“It’s fitting that our latest and greatest ship is also the largest ever delivered by an Austal shipyard, anywhere in the world – the team are rightly very proud and are to be congratulated,” Murray said.

The Philippine Embassy in Denmark remarked that the delivery of Austal Philippines’ second high-speed ferry to Denmark is a testament to the country’s growing expertise and capability in building world-class vessels at competitive prices.

“Valued at 83.63 million EUR, the ferry is expected to have a significant impact on tourism and connectivity for the island of Bornholm, increasing passenger capacity and car volume by more than 35%. With the introduction of the Express 5, travelers can look forward to a more comfortable and unforgettable journey across the Baltic Sea,” the Philippine Embassy stated.

Testaments to the Philippines and Filipinos’ ship-building capability include the Austal Philippines’ first wholly constructed passenger and cargo ship, the high-speed ferry Fjord FSTR, which set sail from Cebu to its new home in Hirtshals, Denmark in 2021, the first Philippine-made Ocean-Powered Hybrid Trimaran built in 2020 by Metallica Shipyard and supported by DOST-PCIEERD, Aklan State University, and MARINA, and the Antoine de Saint Exupery, one of the world’s biggest container ships built in 2018 at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

Dual-Fuel Ferry Claims World’s Fastest Ship

Share this article.

Australian ferry builder Incat Tasmania claims to have built the world’s fast ship, which also happens to be the first high speed dual-fuel vehicle and passenger ferry.

The 99-meter vessel, named Francisco, tops out at a lightship speed of 58.1 knots, or 66 miles per hour. The company admits that, of course, there are some speed boats out there that would trump that, but not any with a carrying capacity of 1,000 passengers, 150 cars, an an enormous 1,100 square meter duty free shop.

The Francisco’s speed was put to the test last week during sea trials. Incat says that during the 1516 tonne displacement trial, the vessel achieved 51.8 knots at 100% MCR operating with one turbine on LNG and one on marine distillate, exceeding the results achieved on June 1 when she was sea trialled with full ballast, comfortably exceeding 50 knots at full power and maintaining a steady 49 knots at 90 percent power while operating on marine distillate.

And on Saturday June 15 with water ballast removed and both Port and Starboard Gas Turbines operating on LNG, Incat says the Francisco achieved a whopping 58.1 knots at 100% MCR.

The vessel’s high speed can be attributed to the combination of Incat’s catamaran design, the use of lightweight, strong marine grade aluminium, and power produced by the two 22MW GE LM2500 gas turbines driving Wartsila LJX 1720 SR waterjets. Of course for the sake of passenger experience, the vessels extensive and luxurious interior added significant (and necessary) weight increases, the Incat team worked to maximize weight savings during construction wherever possible.

Incat is still not claiming 58.1 as the end point of lightship trials either, given there was a full load of LNG on board (that’s two 40 cubic meter tanks) and about 35 tonnes of marine distillate.

“When we have less fuel on board, and delivery spares removed, we will see that speed go higher still in the shallow waters of the River Plate (Rio Plata),” said Incat Chairman Robert Clifford. “We are delighted with the efficiency of the design and sure that our customer, Buquebus, will be pleased with the results, enabling the ferry to compete with airline traffic on the River Plate route.”

The Francisco has been constructed for South American company Buquebus, for service on the River Plate, between Buenos Aires Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay.

The name Francisco was chosen by Buquebus Chairman Juan Carlos Lopez Mena, in honor of the Argentinean born Pope Francis. “Godmother” to the ship will be the President of Argentina, Christina Fernandez de Kirchner, who will christen Francisco following the ship’s arrival in Argentina.

The ship is the eighth Incat vessel to be operated by Buquebus and their associated companies. It will be the largest catamaran they have operated, the world’s first dual fuel high speed ferry to operate on LNG as its primary fuel, and the fastest, environmentally cleanest, most efficient, high speed ferry in the world.

Incat’s High Speed Record

The fastest previous vessel built by Incat was Juan Patricio, also delivered to Buquebus, with a top speed at 53.8 knots. Juan Patricio was delivered in 1996 and remains in commercial service. The Francisco is the fourth Incat built vessel with service speed over 50 knots.

The past three consecutive winners of the Hales Trophy, the Transatlantic Blue Riband record for commercial passenger ships, were all built by Incat. The average speed over the 3 day (unrefueled) voyage of Incat hull 049 was 41.284 knots.

Incat has built 25 High Speed Craft over 5000 gross tonnes with a top speed in excess of 45 knots.

AUSTAL PHILIPPINES LAUNCHES 109 METRE CATAMARAN FERRY – THE LARGEST ALUMINIUM FERRY EVER CONSTRUCTED IN THE PHILIPPINES

MEDIA RELEASE

12 FEBRUARY 2020

AUSTAL PHILIPPINES LAUNCHES 109 METRE CATAMARAN FERRY - THE LARGEST ALUMINIUM FERRY EVER CONSTRUCTED IN THE PHILIPPINES

Austal Limited (ASX:ASB) is pleased to announce that Austal Philippines has successfully launched Hull 419, a 109 metre high-speed catamaran ferry, from the company’s recently expanded Balamban shipyard in Cebu.

The vehicle-passenger ferry, to be known as FSTR , is the largest aluminium vessel ever launched in the Philippines – and the largest (by volume) ever constructed by Austal, worldwide.

The vessel is now in the final stages of fit out, prior to delivery to Fjord Line of Norway in the 2 nd quarter of CY2020.

Austal Chief Executive Officer Mr David Singleton said the launch of the ‘Auto Express 109’ catamaran was a significant milestone for Austal Philippines, as the first ship to be wholly constructed from the Balamban shipyard’s expanded production facilities, which were opened in July 2019.

“This impressive new ship for Fjord Line of Norway is the first of many large, high-speed commercial ferries to be constructed at our expanded shipyard in the Philippines. After Hull 419, we have Hull 395, a 118 metre trimaran, under construction - which will be the longest high speed ferry to be constructed in the Philippines.

“We also have a 115 metre catamaran ferry scheduled for construction at Austal Philippines later this year which will be another record build, as the largest vessel (by volume) to be constructed by Austal, worldwide,” Mr Singleton said.

Hull 395, the ‘Banaderos Express’ for Fred. Olsen Express of the Canary Islands, is a 118 metre high-speed trimaran ferry and a sister ship to Bajamar Express, launched in Australia last week. Hull 423, a 115 metre high speed catamaran ferry to be known as Express 5 , is a follow-up order from Molslinjen of Denmark and is scheduled to commence construction in Balamban in the third quarter of CY2020.

Austal Philippines President Mr Wayne Murray celebrated the launch of Hull 419 by thanking the approximately 1,000-strong Filipino shipbuilding team and acknowledging the outstanding capability of the Balamban shipyard – which now includes a 120 metre long assembly bay and multiple new fabrication bays.

“I am exceptionally proud of the entire Austal Philippines team. The launch of Hull 419 from our newly expanded shipyard is a significant event that highlights our capability to deliver multiple vessel projects concurrently – safely and cost effectively,” Mr Murray said.

Fjord Line’s FSTR (Hull 419) is capable of transporting 1,200 passengers at up to 40 knots and features Austal’s largest ever vehicle-carrying capacity constructed to date, with a beam of 30.5 metres enabling 404 cars to be carried across two decks. The ship features several key design innovations that enhance operating performance and passenger comfort, including a new, optimised hull form that will minimise fuel consumption and wake wash when operating on the Skagerrak Sea between Hirtshals, Denmark and Kristiansand, Norway.

Top 10 largest Catamarans in the world

Characterised as a multi-hulled watercraft, a catamaran is a marine vessel comprising two proportioned hulls giving her greater stability and manoeuvrability. Catamarans also have a shallow draft which enables them to enter unexplored regions beyond the reach of sailing yachts or cruise ships.

Their invention is attributed to the Austronesian peoples of Southeast Asia, while the first European Catamaran was built in the 16th century by scientist William Petty. Capable of attaining greater speeds, catamarans are used for recreational sailing, cruising and racing. Modern Catamarans have luxurious features and marvellous design, which makes them enticing.

Let us have a look at the top 10 biggest catamarans in the world.

Table of Contents

1. Hodor ( 217 Ft.)

Renowned as the world’s largest floating toy box, the 66.2 m long SHADOWCAT Hodor was built by Astilleros Armon in Spain. Incat Crowther and YCTS. Ltd worked on her functional design and naval architecture, while the interiors were chosen by Oliver Design. Painted grey with vibrant orange lines running across its hull, the catamaran is as robust as it looks.

Launched in 2019, she has a maximum sailing speed of 22.5 knots derived from two MTU diesel engines. With a 14-metre beam, she has a gross tonnage of 1525 tonnes respectively. In terms of LOA, she ranks among the top five per cent in the world. She defeats her counterparts both by average speed and volume.

She is donned with aluminium; her hull, deck and even superstructure are made of this malleable and corrosion-resistant metal. Presently sailing under the flag of the Cayman Islands, Hodor is a treasure-house of water sports gear, filled with nine jet skis, four water bikes, laser dinghies, snorkelers, fishing equipment etc.

Low drag, a consequence of the specially designed twin-hull, makes the catamaran glide gracefully on the water while optimising efficiency and low fuel consumption.

Driven by two 3400 HP engines, the superyacht has a top speed of 21 knots and carries three tenders, water sports gear and several jet skis.

One of the most challenging aspects of its construction was to attain a perfect shimmering gold finish, achieved by delicate yet continuous polishing.

Vista is adorned with beautiful paintings showcasing marine life, modern art pieces and metallic fittings. She has five bedrooms that comfortably sleep 10 people. The yacht is managed by a 15-member crew.

Buquebus orders largest 100% electric high-speed catamaran ferry in the world

Shipbuilders Incat Tasmania has begun construction of what they claim will be the world's largest electric ferry boat. The 130-meter-long unit has been ordered by Buquebús, the company offering passenger services between Buenos Aires and the Uruguayan ports of Colonia and Montevideo through the Río de la Plata. It will have room for 2,100 travelers and 226 vehicles, it was reported.

Plans for the ninth Incat vessel to join the Buquebus fleet were originally announced in 2019. That original design called for two aluminum hulls connected to a bridging section. Its top speed was expected to be around 37.5 knots. Incat Tasmania is expected to deliver the new unit by 2025.

“Originally, this 130-meter ferry was to be powered by Liquefied Natural Gas, but after some discussions with the client, we were asked to replace the LNG plant with a zero-emission, battery-electric solution,” the company explained in a press release.

Incat Group founder and chairman Robert Clifford explained that “the customer wants this to happen, Incat wants this to happen, and whilst there are matters to be finalized, I am extremely confident that Incat can deliver this ground-breaking ship.”

“Obviously, there will always be the need for power supply in the ports that the ship will be visiting, but we understand that this is progressing positively. The batteries and electric motors have already been confirmed by our suppliers, to ensure that they will be able to deliver the necessary technology in the time frame we need it,” Clifford went on.

“In my experience, unless we see something come in from left field, this is a done deal,” he added.

• The top ten largest catamarans for charter

Both experienced yachting enthusiasts and those new to the world of yacht charters choose to holiday and hold events aboard luxury catamarans for their unique advantages over monohulled vessels, and these 10 largest luxury catamarans available for charter are amongst the best available today. These impeccably maintained catamarans provide greater stability while cruising and at anchor, and the wider beam creates more space on board for hosting dockside events and revelling in the outdoor lifestyle wherever you travel. Of note are the huge cockpits that are weather protected, spacious foredecks with trampolines, and most large catamarans also have a flybridge for sunbathing and alfresco dining.

Catamarans are also generally considered to be faster than monohulls, and can often enter shallower bays to find hidden gems thanks to their low draft. A final catamaran benefit is twin engines to match the twin hulls, increasing safety and manoeuvrability while travelling between isles.

HEMISPHERE - 44.20m (145')

Since her launch in 2011 luxury catamaran HEMISPHERE has remained one of the largest catamarans in the world as well as the largest currently available on the charter market. She won Interior Layout Award: Sailing Yachts and Interior Design Award: Sailing Yachts at the Showboats Design Awards 2012 where she was also a finalist in other categories for her exterior design and on board amenities.

S/Y DOUCE FRANCE can sail at a constant 22 knots in 28 knots of breeze using her 528.8m2/5,692ft2 fore and aft sail area, and regularly achieves 15 knots in 20 knots of wind, making good time from island to island in charter grounds such as the Saronic Islands.

THE BEAST - 39.5m/129.7ft

Motor catamaran THE BEAST is unusual on this list not only for her lack of sails but also because she is designed for expeditions. She was built in New Zealand and launched in 2019 by Profab Engineering with naval architecture by LOMOcean and deep, moody interiors by Oceania Interiors. Floor to ceiling windows let an abundance of natural light filter through to highlight the textures, and vibrant accents of colour can be found in the surrounding artwork. The main deck aft is used for storing the large water toys, including a custom-built sports fisher and an amphibious RIB. On the flybridge there is a Teppanyaki bar where guests can watch their dinner and dessert being prepared before them in incredible skill and showmanship.

At deck level it adds to the area for lounging and entertaining with the tender docked safely out of sight between the two hulls. It can also be lowered to water level and become the beach club and with a touch of a button have two water cascades with spa bubbles from underneath.

BELLA VITA - 32m/105ft

Guests looking for serenity and comfort will fall in love with luxury catamaran BELLA VITA , who is true to her name by offering calming, well-lit interiors suited to dining and lounging as a group or spending time on personal pursuits.

HUTIANE - 31m/101.8ft

Superyacht HUTIANE from Cuneo Marine is highly desirable for her bright modern interiors where 'less is more' certainly means more space for guests within her 12.3m/40.3ft beam. Outside, the flybridge, foredeck and main deck aft create an abundance of space for hosting dockside events, and the latter area has a Jacuzzi along the stern for sweeping views of the scenery while resting. The accommodation sleeps up to 10 guests across four en-suite cabins, and there is a wide variety of water toys to suit all ages and interests.

MARTINA - 30.7m/100.9ft
