Incat Crowther has been commissioned to design a passenger transport ferry to be operated by Cataferry Sdn Bhd, in Malaysia.
 
The main deck features a full width cabin accommodating 151 passengers. This area includes interior seating, a cargo luggage area, locker rooms for switch boards and an entertainment bar. Aft of the cabin features three restrooms and a luggage room to hold cargo. A swim deck is featured below, on the aft portion of the main deck.
 
Forty passengers can be accommodated on the mid deck within the cabin, as 13 can be seated aft of the cabin, outside. Forward of the cabin, is the pilothouse, including two captain’s chairs and a chart table. The port and starboard side feature a wing control station.
 
The vessel is propelled by two 40-inch fixed pitch propellers powered by two Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines. Two Caterpillar C4.4 generators supply electricity to the vessel.
