en.Wedoany.com Reported - Incat has dispatched the heavy cargo ship Black Marlin to Hobart, Tasmania, via South Africa and Melbourne, to load the world's largest battery-electric vessel and deliver it to operator Buquebus.

The Black Marlin, measuring 217 meters in length and 42 meters in width, is capable of transporting large offshore structures and will become one of the largest vessels to enter the Derwent River.

Incat President Robert Clifford stated that the arrival of the Black Marlin marks a critical phase in this innovative shipbuilding project. Clifford noted that there is strong interest in Hull 096, with the company receiving inquiries almost daily about the vessel's status and the voyage time to South America. The arrival of the Black Marlin signals the final stage of the project, as the ship will depart from Tasmania for its new home in South America.

Clifford explained that few people have the opportunity to witness such operations up close. The Black Marlin itself is an extraordinary vessel, and its entry into the Derwent River will be a spectacle. The project has attracted international attention from the start, with many eagerly awaiting the next phase. Incat will share updates on the ship's journey to Tasmania and the loading of Hull 096.

As a semi-submersible heavy cargo ship, the Black Marlin can submerge its cargo deck below the water surface using its ballast system. Hull 096 will be moved over the submerged deck, after which the ballast water will be discharged to raise the deck above the water. This operation will take place on the Derwent River and is one of the most complex offshore moving tasks in the Tasmania region.
