The CAT: Fast Facts
The CAT™ is North America’s most exciting,
state-of-the-art ferry! It’s more than just a mode of transportation. It’s
fast, it’s fun—and full of surprises!
Consider these fast facts:
• The CAT’s unique wave-piercing hulls don't ride on top of
the waves—they cut through them.
• A revolutionary catamaran design funnels the power of The CAT’s four 9500-horsepower engines through four water jets.
• From the stern (rear) of the ship, you can watch the water jets of The CAT shoot out a tail over 20 feet high and 50 feet long!
• The CAT is the only North American ferry
that can fly up to 775 passengers, 250 cars and 14 motor coaches across the
ocean at highway speeds.
• The aluminum required to build The CAT could produce more than 32 million
beverage cans!
• The CAT’s four water jets could fill an Olympic swimming pool in 33 seconds
