Ferries - Vehicle-Passenger

With leading-edge technology and commitment to operator needs, Austal's Auto Express was the world's first vehicle-passenger catamaran to be able to carry coaches/buses. In fact, efficient vehicle handling and superb interior outfits have set the Austal Auto Express fast car ferries apart from their competitors.
