Wight Shipyard Company delivered to MBNA Thames Clippers two 35 metre low wash 172-passenger catamaran ferries, MERCURY CLIPPER and JUPITER CLIPPER.
One month after cross-Solent ferry operator Red Funnel had been acquired by a consortium of UK and Canadian pension funds, a sister unit to RED JET 6 has been ordered. The high-speed, passenger-only ferry will also be built by Wight Shipyard on the Isle of Wight.
