86 Metre Wave Piercing Catamaran



Persons - 900
Cargo Deck Area - 1890sqm
Deadweight - 415
Speed - 41 - 48 knots
Power - 28320kW

The four 86m vessels were the first to carry coaches, heralding future inclusion of freight capacity on Incat catamarans. Hull 045 broke ground in 1999, becoming the first Wave Piercing Catamaran to be chartered by military interests and the first to be used in active service.

Having an extended outer hull length, increased volume and the then new Ruston 20RK270 diesel engines, the 86 metre range further developed the concepts explored with the 81 metre class. Deadweight reached 400 tonnes, car capacity 200 and passenger numbers rose to 800 – all more than double that of the first 74 metre ferry.

The four vessels of the class have all proved hugely popular in their roles in the UK, Spain and Australia.
