Aluminium Boats Australia (ABA) de- livered its latest ferry; a 24 m Eco-Jet commuter catamaran designed by Syd- ney-based One2three Naval Architects.

The Kurrowera I is the third of four ves- sels built for Bay Islands Transit Systems (BITS) services in Queensland’s More- ton Bay Marine Park. The first of the four new ABA fast waterbuses for the South- ern Moreton Bay Islands, the Jumpinpin, entered service in May 2009, being joined by the second, the Perulpa, last

September. Custom designed and built for Moreton Bay’s environmentally sen- sitive waters, with particular attention to protecting dugongs and turtles in the shallows of the southern part of the bay, the ABA sisters deliver an optimum so- lution for any area where there are shal- low waters and an environment at risk. "The ferries have been designed to move at speed but in a way that simply pushes a turtle or dugong (note: dugongs are related to manatees) to one side rather than harming it," said Graham Leishman,

Director of Transit Systems Pty Ltd, owner of the BITS ferry service. The wa- terbuses offer large carrying capacity; up to 200 passengers on short trips, while delivering low fuel consumption. Alu- minium Boats Australia Director Roy

Whitewood said, “They are remarkably easy on the fuel because weight has been kept to an absolute minimum.” Like her sisters, the Kurrowera I is powered by two Scania DI12 59M diesel engines, each rated 331kW at 100% MCR.

Delivering swift acceleration they quickly work up to a service speed of 22 knots and in a notable first they are the first vessels to meet stringent require- ments permitting them to run within their operational corridor inside the Moreton

Bay Marine Park at maximum speed. Via

Twin Disc MG 5114 SC gearboxes, en- gine power is converted to propulsion thrust through two HamiltonJet HJ 364 waterjets. Jet control is enhanced by the

HamiltonJet blueARROW electronic control system. With the intuitive control provided by the MouseBoat maneuvering controller, blueARROW reduces the learning curve for masters and makes docking simple, fast and accurate.

A new, second generation, hull shape from the drawing boards of One2three

Design has provided enhanced fuel effi- ciency and indeed with the same power the Kurrowera 1 is faster than her earlier sisters by approximately 1.5 knots. From a passenger point of view the craft is in- stantly distinguishable from her sisters thanks to her enhanced external styling, larger boarding access ways, increased headroom in the fully composite cabin and larger windows creating an impres- sive sense of light and space. The fourth vessel, currently under construction, is schedule for delivery in June.
