Close
In June 2023 Transport for NSW announced it had awarded Richardson Devine Marine a contract to build seven Incat Crowther designed ferries in Hobart to replace the RiverCats on Parramatta River services.[1][2][3][4]
The ferries are to be named in honour of Australians who have made significant achievements in the fields of science, environment, and innovation.[5] The first was delivered in March 2024.[6]
Unlike the River-class ferry fleet, the new sets do not include a top deck.
