Cargo on ferry of the third kind
The FRS Iberia shipping company recently acquired a fast ferry which will be renamed “Levante Jet”. The unit is an 85 m length fast catamaran, with an aluminium hull, constructed in 2015 in Australia – more specifically in the Incat shipyard in Tasmania.
The catamaran is capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 knots. The ‘Levante Jet’ will have the capacity to transport 330 linear metres of cargo besides passengers and 151 vehicles.
Before, the ship belonged to the Japanese company Sado Kisen. After delivery to FRS in Japan, the vessel will be transferred to Spain and will arrive at the port of Algeciras in August. (sh)
