Catamaran Ferry Delivered to Majestic Ferries

The recently launched Majestic 7 is the first of four HSC catamaran passenger ferries designed by Incat Crowther to be delivered to Majestic Ferries in Singapore.

Majestic 7, part of a multiple-vessel order which has been further expanded to include a pair of larger capacity vessels due to be launched in late 2016, was built at PT Cahaya Samudra Shipyard in Indonesia, and will operate between Singapore and Batam.

According to Incat Crowther, the 33-meter vessel gives the operator increased capacity and speed at a fraction of the typical fuel consumption.

Powered by a pair of MAN D2862 LE463 main engines, rated at 1,029kW, driving fixed pitch propellers, Majestic 7 performed well in sea trials, reaching a loaded speed in excess of 30 knots, the designer noted. The vessel will be operated at a service speed of 28 knots at a reduced MCR.

All of Majestic 7’s 200 passengers enter through midship boarding doors and sit in forward-facing seats. In addition, there are four seats for crew members. At the aft end of the cabin are a six-person crew room and kiosk, as well as three heads. The upper deck, free of passengers, features just the wheelhouse with excellent all-round visibility. The vessel is built to the HSC 2000 code under Bureau Veritas survey.
