WORLD’S FIRST AND LARGEST HIGH SPEED PASSENGER TRIMARAN FERRY

AUSTAL HULL 394 - The 118 Metre Trimaran Ferry 'Bajamar Express'
The high-speed vehicle-passenger ferry Bajamar Express, was launched at Austal’s Henderson, Western Australia shipyard on 4 February 2020.
Austal Chief Executive Officer David Singleton said the launch of the new trimaran highlights Austal Australia’s competitiveness in the global shipbuilding industry and continued leadership in trimaran design technology.
“With today’s launch of Bajamar Express, our internationally competitive Australian team has again demonstrated an inherent capability to design and construct advanced, cutting-edge vessels efficiently and cost effectively,” Mr Singleton said.
“Austal developed the world’s first and largest high-speed passenger trimaran ferry is the latest evolution of that highly successful, proven design.
”This latest Trimaran will provide Fred. Olsen Express with class-leading seakeeping, improved fuel economy and greater passenger comfort that builds upon the unrivalled reputation of the iconic Benchijigua Express.
” Bajamar Express (Hull 394) is a 118 metre aluminium trimaran, capable of transporting more than 1,100 passengers and 276 cars at speeds up to 38 knots. Along with her sister ship, Bañaderos Express (Hull 395) under construction at Austal Philippines, the ship features an optimized trimaran hull form and is fitted with Austal’s industry-leading Motion Control technology that delivers a smoother ride and an enhanced on board experience for both customers and crew.
Bajamar Express features class-leading interior amenities and facilities, including multiple bars, kiosks, a retail shop and children’s play area and will operate on Fred. Olsen Express’ Santa Cruz, Teneriffe and Agaete, Las Palmas routes in the Canary Islands.

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

[@jb9090]

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

yeah it shows how we prioritize opulence over the health of our shared environment and the equity among humans.

Well done to all the team who made this a reality. Makes me proud to be an Aussie!

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

I think I would have spent a couple more hundred dollars on some big fenders when you pulled it up to the docks 😂😂😂😂

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

[@elitetechzone]

Yes it was!

Definitely - the Benchijigua express was larger than this one though🤔

[@FranciscoR.Padron]

This ship is operated in the Canary Island, Spain, for travels from las Palmas to tenerife and go back

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

[@nigelbent2265]

Magnificent!

[@skhan4849]

Amazing Video ❤

[@awuma]

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.

[@elitetechzone]

Ok, thanks

[@dalanbronnenberg]

[@elitetechzone]

Very cool!

[@higherresolution4490]

The engineering skills involved in the entire project are mind-bending! And what a beautiful boat this is. I wonder where it will be used in Australia? On the West Coast or the east coast?

[@scottd8108]

​@higherresolution4490 being Fred Olsen probably end up in the Mediterranean.

[@Shattered65]

​@@higherresolution4490 it will never be used in Australia. It is currently being used by the company that commissioned it in Spain. Further no more of these will be built in Australia as the production facility for this company is in the Philippines. The Western Australia facility is only for building prototypes, the build the first ship in a series work out the bugs and then hand over production to the Philippines where it's cheaper to build ships

[@respektetoutlavi714]

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”! 💙

[@elitetechzone]

thanks for your visit

[@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?

Amazing

[@sbernd78]

The title is completely wrong. Neither is it the biggest or the fastest trimaran-ferry. This is the Benchijigua Express. Also operated by Fred. Olsen Express. She’s 2,5 knots faster, 8m longer, takes about 150 more passengers and about 100 more cars. And: is older than this one. But you got 1 thing right: it’s a ferry.

[@matsv201]

As far as i can find the danish HSC Express 1&2 are the fastest/largest trimaran around. Both carry more cars and are heavier than Benchijigua Express, as well as faster.(quite a bit so). While shorter, so not the longest.

[@sbernd78]

@@matsv201 that wasn’t, what I tried to say with my comment. And it does not change the fact, that the videotitle is all wrong. And the ships you mentioned, are smaller and slower the the one I wrote about. The point is: those are catamarans. Not trimarans. They have only two hulls. Not three. 😉

[@gjmob]

@@sbernd78 Is videotitle a Greek word?

I think the first technologies was develop by Filipino. But the company was joining the venture to the Philippines.

[@MbisonBalrog]

Lifting and lowering onto hull is very low margin error task. Even an inch off and screwed. There has be better way like building from bottom up not in two pieces.

Does it have a safety zone for any EV vehicles it's carrying? Maybe a place for EV's near the edge of a deck with a mechanism that can fling them into the water when their battery catches fire?

Meanwhile in WA state the ferry aystem has 26 ferries and only 11 are active. We cant even keep ours running and staffed.

That's a pisser. I was there in the 70s and have good memories of the ferries and Seattle. Before all the human debris littered the streets and aunt teefa and black live smatter fkd everything up.

Actually the second one because of the Condor Liberation which came out 5 years before in 2015

If it is the first it is largest by default.

I'm thinking of an idea for the return of ocean liners as "micro liners" - ships carrying maybe 100-200 people per voyage, shuttling them across the ocean. The idea would be to supplement the current Cunard liner services with more transoceanic options. People generally fly across the ocean those days, so there is probably a small market for this - but I bet it's not a market of zero.

[@Rickyrab]

I wonder if fast ferries and expedition ships might be a starting point for future "micro liners".

[@Rickyrab]

Internet capacity and workplace compatibility would be a feature of such liners of tomorrow- and telework might make them feasible. If you can work from anywhere, you might be able to afford more time away from the office.

[@pickleonions4277]

One electric car could start an inferno inside, even with the most advanced fire fighting equipment on board.

[@user-kg2jw3we6b]

Car companies are quickly trying to remedy that. You don't hear about exploding cell phones and exploding laptops anymore, because battery technology is improving and becoming safer.

[@pdkrace]

nice boat

[@mattypants]

I was distracted from this amazing ship by those police boats that were also docked there. That was impressive for a police boat. Not as impressive as this ship however.
