The ferries are capable of carrying 154 with a crew of 10, and have a top speed of 25 knots. The trio represent leading ferry technology, built to the highest international standards and fully compliant with IMO HSC 2000. The vessels will add significantly to the developing transport network around the islands reducing transit times and improving inter-island connectivity.
Three high speed aluminium catamaran ferries designed by BMT Nigel Gee Ltd, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, have safely arrived in India's Lakshadweep Islands.
The vessels, built by Penguin Shipyards International, Singapore, will provide a vital inter-island transport service in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep Administration (UTLA), a large outspread group of islands in the Arabian Sea, off the south-west coast of India.
