Incat Crowther Announces Launch of Catamaran

The vessel’s hulls house a further 6 cabins, 4 of which also feature a sliding joining partition. In addition to these cabins, the hulls house refrigerator and freezer rooms, as well as service and storage spaces which offer increased range and operational flexibility. The aft working deck features over 160 square meters of work space - enough to accommodate a quartet of 20 foot containers.
The vessel is powered by a pair of Caterpillar C32 ACERT main engines, each producing 1600hp. Propulsion is achieved by by a pair of five-bladed propellers. In recent trials, Outer Limit achieved a loaded speed in excess of 22 knots.
