Express 3 is a high speed catamaran built by Incat for Molslinjen.

History

In October 2015, Molslinjen placed an order with Incat for the KatExpress 3.[2][3] She was delivered with the name Express 3 in April 2017.[4][5]

Design

Express 3 measures 10,842 GT and is 109.4 metres (359 ft) long, with a beam of 30.5 metres (100 ft) and a draft of 4 metres (13 ft).[4] Her design is based on an earlier 112 metres (367 ft) Incat specification of which Molslinjen operates two examples, but modified for lower fuel consumption and improved vehicle deck efficiency.[4] She can carry 1,000 passengers and up to 411 cars, or up to 227 cars when her 610 lane meter freight deck is occupied by commercial vehicles.[4] She is powered by four 20-cylinder MAN diesel engines that drive Wärtsilä waterjets, giving her a service speed of 40 knots (46 mph) and a maximum speed of 47 knots (54 mph).[4]
