For more information contact: its first high-speed passenger ferry designed by Australian marine ar- chitect Philip Hercus just over a year ago, has announced the sale of its fourth International Catamaran (INCAT) to TNT Hydrolines, Inc., a New Jersey-based subsidiary of TNT, Ltd. of Australia, one of the world's largest transportation com- panies. The 82-foot, welded-aluminum, twin-hulled vessel is the first IN- CAT to service metropolitan area commuters. Beginning early next year, the 265-passenger catamaran will run twice daily from Atlantic Highlands in New Jersey's Bayshore area to New York City. The compa- ny also plans to run tourist excur- sions during midday hours. Powered by twin 12-cylinder die- sel engines, the new vessel will reach speeds of 30 knots fully loaded. George Duclos, president of Gladding-Hearn, which holds the East Coast license to build Mr. Hercus's INCATs, said the com- muter boat will take between seven to eight months to construct, as each vessel is custom built. The commuter trip to Manhattan is ex- pected to take about 45 minutes.

The Volvo Penta engines stipulated for each of these vessels are individually rated at 470 bhp (345 kw) at 1,800 rpm and will be coupled to generators of as yet un- named make. The 287-foot-long vessels, in- tended for trade between Lake Van- er and Gothenburg, have been or- dered by the Rotterdam company Van Nievelt Goudriaan from the Rabenstein yard, near Nijmegen. They combine RO/RO and LO/LO modes with an oil cargo-carrying capability. The TAMD 162 was unveiled in Trondheim recently at the Nor- Fishing 88 trade fair. Derived from a high displacement truck engine, it represents an upgrading of the Pen- ta marine range and is aimed pri- marily at the market for small ves- sels and workboats with power re- quirements between 4400 and 600 bhp.
