World-Class INCAT Vessel Destined for Japan

Minister for Economic Development and Tourism, Paula Wriedt, today attended the INCAT Naming Ceremony for its new high-speed luxury catamaran destined for Japan.
Ms Wriedt presented Mr Tashiro, President of Libera Holdings, the leading ship operator in Japan, with a gift to mark the occasion of the naming of the Natchan World.
“INCAT Tasmania has developed a solid working relationship with Libera Holdings resulting in the building of two world-class luxury catamarans,” Ms Wriedt said.
“This relationship is a great example of how Tasmanian businesses can create products of outstanding quality and gain recognition on the world-stage.
“The first vessel was delivered to Libera Holdings in August last year and the second vessel marks INCAT’s most valuable export to date.
“Natchan World is one of the largest vessels built by INCAT and stands at 112.6 metres long and weighs in at nearly 11 000 gross tonnes.
“This new vessel has been built for speed and luxury, can be enjoyed by up to 800 people and has the capacity to hold 355 cars.
“Natchan World has a new form of relaxation for Executive Class passengers which cannot be experienced on any flights, trains or cruise ships.
“Instead of individual seats, there are small booth-style compartments for passengers to lie down and relax, as well as massage chairs,” Ms Wriedt said.
