56 meter Aurora V has finally reached Australia after months of delay.
The 300 Pax and 85 cars catamaran will service the Wallaroo on Yorke Peninsula and Lucky Bay, on Eyre Peninsula line (60 Km) in approximately 2 hours.
Cruise speed will thus stand at 16 knots.
The ferry has been built in Indonesia (Strange when you know that the 2 biggest Cat manufacturer are located in Australia) and cost 12M$.
Strange design.
What´s maximum speed?
Does anybody know when this was built and who built it, is it brand new or a refurbishment. It looks worn for a new vessel.

for the builder!
The ferry is entirely new but we still do not know the top speed!
