The First FastCat Arrives!

The as yet unnamed ferry – a 40 metre, 35 knot Kvaerner ‘FlyingCat’ passenger catamaran, capable of carrying 360 passengers – is currently undergoing an extensive overhaul and being repainted in Severn Link livery. Next step is a full interior refit which will include comfortable seating, refreshment facilities, provision for disabled travellers and plenty of storage space to carry your shopping, bikes and luggage!

We’re already looking forward to the New Year, when the ferry’s sister ship will be delivered into our care, ready for the same extensive overhaul, refit and repaint.

Keep checking back for updates, as we’re looking forward to showing you sneak peeks of the FlyingCat’s reincarnation into the first fast ferry to service the Bristol Channel!
