Williams Marine and Watersports appointed SilverCat dealer
Williams Marine and Watersports will represent SilverCat on England’s South Coast, bringing the power catamaran brand to Swanwick Marina.
The 203-passenger VIKING LifeCraft – a motorised inflatable vessel with a passenger chute system and advanced battery-electric propulsion – was recently selected to protect KiwiRail’s new 1900-passenger hybrid-electric ferries, with Torqeedo supplying the high-thrust electric propulsion system for the survival craft.
Niels Fraende, VIKING’s Vice-President of Sales for Cruise & LifeCraft, said: ‘With four LifeCraft in each system, we save space on board and can evacuate more than 800 people within 30 minutes. The LifeCraft eliminates dangerous lifeboat drills and can also be used to perform search and rescue operations if another vessel in the area requires support, boosting passenger and crew safety in the Cook Strait as a whole.’
