The high-speed ferry was designed by PVA Associate member Incat Crowther and powered by powered by four MTU 12V4000 M64 EPA Tier III main engines providing redundancy whilst operating ef- ficiently at a modest rating. The 600-passenger ferry was developed in response to significant growth in passenger volume at Seastreak and is currently the highest capacity U.S Coast Guard Subchapter K fast ferry ever built. Incat Crowther worked closely with Seastreak to develop the unique layout and styling to allow passengers to safely and comfortably undertake their daily commute. The vessel is also used on the weekend run to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. It is believed that this route con- stitutes the longest high- speed ferry run in the United States. During sea trials in the fully loaded condition, the vessel achieved more than 38 knots at 100 percent maximum continuous rating (MCR). Seastreak President James Barker said, “She was built both for New York commuter runs but also for the open ocean and performs exceptionally well in both applications. There are no other ferries in NYC which have the level of comfort, speed and size of the Seastreak Commodore.” n Seastreak Commodore Delivers Speed, Capacity and Offshore Capability
