The Company
Incat is the builder of the world’s benchmark in high speed ships with fast Wave Piercing Catamarans in commercial and military service around the globe, carrying passengers, vehicles and freight, and providing high speed marine transportation solutions for a wide range of applications.
The Incat group of companies is privately owned, with shares held by the founder and chairman of the board Robert Clifford, the Clifford family, company directors and employees.
Think fast - think light is a philosophy often heard at Incat: lightweight aluminium construction, streamlined hull shapes and constant attention to research and development has seen product developments produce a range of Wave Piercing Catamarans with dramatically increased payload as the size of the craft has grown over four decades of experience in the ferry and ship construction industry.
Incat’s shipyard is on Prince of Wales Bay at Derwent Park near Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The facility incorporates more than 70,000 m2 of undercover production halls, with two dry-dock areas capable of accommodating up to six vessels under construction.
A reputation for quality and excellence in production is supported by an experienced and dedicated workforce.
