“Austal developed the world’s first and largest high-speed passenger trimaran ferry is the latest evolution of that highly successful, proven design.

It's just amazing how they can make something so big and heavy float all that weight. Just beautiful.

An impressive achievement that demonstrates what humans can accomplish… worthwhile, useful, technologically advanced. the builders of this ship are the real superheroes!

I still remember this like it was yesterday
Loved working on that boat Hull 260
What a great place to do an apprenticeship

[joepawling]

It’s amazing!!! The engineering of the boat is one thing, but the assembly is incredible. 🤯🤯

Cheers to the most beautiful passenger ferry in the world. I can imagine someone flying to Australia just to ride this amazing ferry.

Austal, the Forrest family-backed shipbuilder Australian know how awesome

[DanieMcFire]

Fantastic! Breaks my heart to think that my country South Africa can’t even build a house, but only to steal from those who can build, and then they want to still travel in the gold class, makes you sad doesn’t it?

[krzysztofcukier]

Can’t wait to see it operating at full speed

[paulcoverdale]

These are pretty special bits of kit.
Great job done by our

The title is simply misleading, since its older sister ship, the "Benchijigua Express", is significantly larger. I have travelled on the "Benchijigua Express", very nice. Very interesting construction and launching techiques shown in the video. The superstructure shows a lot of strength.

[slick]

Yes, an awesome ship. Please note that as the "first" of its kind, it is not only the fastest, but also the slowest...! (The most expensive, the least expensive...)

[vernacular]

When it dwarfs the police cruisers at 4:15, that’s a symbolism I can get behind

[respektetoutlavi]

What a beautiful video & beyond amazing to see such a process in modern detail! It blows my mind a ship just as capable was launched twenty years ago & is still in service by the same company, “HSC Benchijigua Express”! 💙

[geoffreywallace]

Austal built. They had built one before for the same company. Benchichigua Express. 127 metres long. Real impressive ship.

[uromaolove]

[paultanker]
