Incat Crowther will partner with Gulf Craft LLC in Franklin, La., to design and deliver a new Coast Guard Subchapter-K approved, 104-foot aluminum passenger ferry for the U.S Virgin Islands (VI).
Construction began in November.
The new ferry will service tourist and commuter route between Red Hook on the island of St. Thomas, and Cruz Bay on the island of St. John. Currently, two other Incat Crowther-designed 89-foot vessels service this route.
The new ferry will be built with accessibility and an elevated customer experience in mind and will be capable of transporting up to 300 passengers at speeds of up to 28 knots. The vessel will also be fitted with the latest diesel engine emission control technologies in compliance with EPA Tier 4.
The commissioning of the new ferry adds to Incat Crowther’s growing footprint in the Caribbean. (Work Boat 12/14/23)
