What an amazing feat for the Tasmanian maritime industry!
The River Derwent is hosting the 217m semi-submersible heavy transport carrier, MV Black Marlin, that loaded the world’s largest battery-electric powered ferry, Incat’s 130m Hull 096 - China Zorilla, built right here in Tassie for all of Hobart to bear witness.
The massive operation was a huge success and spectacle to behold at the many vantage points in and around the river.
Bound for South America, the ferry will service between Argentina and Uruguay and can hold up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles.
Congratulations to Incat Tasmania and the many people involved. You have placed Tasmania on the the world stage!
