Hurricane Clipper, - River Runner 200 Mark 2

The Hurricane Clipper was one of the first of the new catamarans in the fleet and runs both the scheduled commuter and Tate to Tate service. It was built in 2001 by the Cairns based Australian company NQEA - shipbuilders for navy craft, hovercraft, catamarans, general barges and RORO ("roll on / roll off") cargo vessels. A number of famous politicians have travelled onboard including Tony Blair, Ken Livingston, John Prescott and ex-Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
