Shipbuilder Austal has broken its commercial newbuilding drought, securing a deal to build a 71-metre ro-ro for a repeat client.
French Polynesia’s Degage Group is behind the order for the monohull vessel that is said to be worth between AUD 30 and AUD 40m ($20m to $26m).
The vessel will have a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure and will be able to accommodate up to 140 seated passengers and 17 crew.
