After a recent visit to the shipyard (July 2023), we are proud to share with you the progress of the construction of the two new $57 million Kangaroo Island Ferry Service vessels.
Since the keels of the vessels were laid in December 2022, the construction team has grown to a team of more than 180. With the size of the workforce and the 7-day working week, construction is well on track.
As you will see from the photos, in the carousel, the structure of the hulls of both vessels are almost complete. With hulls being 95% fully welded and the plating of the bulbous bows advancing, the first sections of the aluminium superstructure are already being lifted onto the hulls.
SeaLink will continue to provide updates on the vessel construction in the lead up to the commencement of the new ferry service. Remember to keep checking this webpage and subscribe to the SeaLink KI Ferry Service email updates.
