- World's Fastest Ship. Incat Hull 069 Francisco during sea trials at a record breaking 57 knots. Footage taken by Jim Flaherty.(copyright - Jim Flaherty)
I traveled in that ship last week, it was fully loaded and was cruising at 42 knots, aprox 80km/h, due to the turbine engines the start up sounds like a plane and the acceration is amazing, goes from 5 knots to 40 in a while
Was lucky enough to commission the Turbines and deliver the ship to Montevideo. Great experience.
A Cessna 172 or similar light aircraft, could do VTOL from this ship when it's going full ahead.
Thats just silly. You have no idea what youre talking about.
@@aburaiqun6742 mate, he is saying they could take off from the ship when going at full 57 kts since the cessna 172 stall speed is slower. Can you really not gasp that?
The incat is defo my fav ship not only does it look fantastic but it performs very well
RIP my ears
Impressive!! Can´t help but wondering how much fuel it can carry and the range? Imagine a smaller cat for private ocean-crossings, at that speed.!! I couldn´t afford it, but it would be sooo cool for someone with enough $$$ in the bank ;)
Amazing. At that speed it could cross the English Channel as fast as Eurotunnel Le Shuttle.
I wonder if incat is planning to make a faster vessel, 60+knots🤔
Did one off these cross bass straight for a while late 80's
yes was called Devil Cat, 1997 2002
Yes, there were a few, one being known as “Devil,Cat” (Hull 046) which i travelled on in early 2001 from Melbourne to George Town. It had a few operators, and spent most of its life in Trinidad and Tobago. Sadly it is no more, as it was sold to a Spanish operator and was under tow to Spain when it was lost near the Azores in 2021.❤

That thing looks as if it has 33 turbines inside it
2 lm2500s powering two water jets apparently
Speed kms/h ?
105 KMPH ( 1 knot = 1.852 KMPH)
58 knots

90 ish.

Fuel is expensive
واااااااو
Dread to think how much fuel it's drinking.
Wow! That's faster than a sane person leaving San Francisco!
Barbuda express faster
Why does it need to cross so fast? No offence but would it not be wiser to travel more slowly to save resources and money?
Water jets are most efficient above ~25kts so going faster is actually more fuel efficient. If it was fitted with a propeller then it would be a different story.
If you go twice as fast you can do twice the tours. So you just have to buy one boat instead of two.
Going Faster is more fuel efficient. It applies to plane engines and ships alike. Most Ship building companies are just lazy to work out something faster. They prefer more payload capacity to speed. Greedy bastards.
@@Sm00thieK That's not really true. Cargo ships often slow down specifically to save fuel when the oil price is high.
Now, the capital cost of the ship per nautical mile actually increases when you're going slower, but the fuel savings are greater still.
And of course a given propulsion system can be more efficient at a higher speed than a lower, if it's engineered for the higher cruise speed, but as a general rule, slower is more fuel efficient, but increases the cost of capital.
In other words, with a cheap ship and expensive fuel, going slow is more economical.
With an expensive ship and cheap fuel, going faster is better.
@@phamnuwen9442 most likely it's beyond that as well, crossing a huge swathe of ocean quickly turns a full day's journey into a few hours. That basically brings places within commuting distance and the benefits to the economies of both ports are absolutely massive seeing as you're linking their economies together as people on either side can commute to work, go to meetings etc.
I don't think that she/he is the fastest ship in the world.. like a speedboat can go this many knots
Your answer is in your statement. This is a ship, not a boat. A large cargo carrying seafaring vessel over 500 tons is a ship. Anything smaller is a boat.
@@JGunit maybe I cant just accept that she/he is the fastest cargo ship in the world
she may not be the fastest ship in the world, but she is the fastests PASSENGER ship in the world. She can carry up to 1000 passengers and 150 cars
