Oceania Marine, one of the owners of Energy Vessels Offshore Limited (EVO), has just completed the design and rebuild of fast ferry ‘Tiger Cat’. The project involved a complete strip-out and 2.25 metre hull extensions to the catamaran hulls. This work, plus repowering with larger engines, transformed the vessel from a 15 knot semi-displacement plodder into a 24 knot flyer. 

The vessel also got a new interior and repaint by Oceania Marine Coatings which ensures the passenger ferry meets the quality standards required by today’s commuters and tourists. 

The first sea trials have just been successfully completed and she will soon be in full service out of the Port of Auckland, New Zealand.
