Named China Zorrilla, after a beloved Uruguayan actress, the vessel marks a historic shift toward clean energy in maritime transport. It will carry up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles using only battery-electric power.
“This is a historic day – not just for Incat, but for the future of maritime transport,” said Incat Chairman Robert Clifford.
“We’ve been building world-leading vessels here in Tasmania for more than four decades, and Hull 096 is the most ambitious, most complex, and most important project we’ve ever delivered. This ship changes the game.”
This is the ninth vessel that Incat has built for Buquebus. The partnership between the companies continues to drive innovation and long-term commitment to sustainability.
