Kvaerner Fjellstrand Wins
Chinese Order For 131-Foot Flying Cat
A 131-foot Flying Cat passenger catamaran worth $6 million has been ordered by Yantai Marine Shipping
Company of China from Kvaerner
Fjellstrand, part of Norway's
Kvaerner group.
To be built at Omastrand in west- ern Norway, this is the ninth 131- foot Flying Cat ordered from the group's high-speed vessel yards in
Norway and Singapore over the past nine months. "The market for our passenger catamarans is starting to pick up," says president Anders Jordal at
Kvaerner Fjellstrand in Omastrand.
The Chinese company, which is located in the northern port of
Yantai, opted for the Kvaerner
Fjellstrand vessel reportedly be- cause of its high quality and good seakeeping. This craft will be equipped with Kvaerner's recently- developed MDS motion damping system, which, to date, has been installed on seven catamarans and reportedly greatly improves passen- ger comfort in heavy seas.
Yantai Marine Shipping will take delivery of the catamaran in May, and plans to operate it between
Yantai and Dalian. Able to carry 300 passengers, the vessel will be equipped with two MTU diesel en- gines and KaMeWa water jets to give a service speed of 34 knots.
