Custom-built ambulance vessel, Medicat launches today

We are proud to launch the new Medicat Ambulance vessel to service the Southern Moreton Bay Islands.

SeaLink’s newest custom designed and locally built vessel will help the QAS transport patients between the South Moreton Bay Islands and the mainland. The 12 meter vessel has the capacity to carry three patients on stretchers, with a total capacity of 16 people on board including ambulance officers and the vessel master. This vessel is a huge win for the Island communities in Metro South and for the QAS to enhance and improve their first-class pre-hospital care of patients in need.

The custom-built vessel will provide an essential service to the local community with more patient capacity than the previous ferry, as well as enhanced comfort, safety and patient care.

We are proud to partner with shipbuilder Commercial Marine Australia (CMA) and in consultation with the QAS, this vessel is Australia’s most modern water borne patient care transportation.
