Incat Crowther sells its designs to other builders around the world, with yards in Australia, North America and now Europe. The company approached Mustang Marine based on the builder’s experience and reputation for constructing quality craft in aluminium. Under the terms of the agreement, Mustang Marine will lead on all sales approaches originating in the UK and Ireland, whether they are made to Mustang or Incat Crowther. The two companies will work closely together to ensure that customer requirements, whether they be for existing or bespoke designs, are translated successfully into the plans that come out of Australia.

Incat Crowther managing director Brett Crowther said, ‘We view our relationship with our affiliated yards as long term, mutually beneficial and supportive in both technical and commercial terms.’

The working arrangement is for an initial period of two years, during which time Mustang Marine will be responsible for all direct sales activity in the territory. The two companies may undertake direct marketing activities on a collaborative basis.

The traditional market for Incat Crowther designs in the UK is for aluminium catamaran ferries and significant enquiries are currently under discussion for what would be the first newbuild to follow from the new agreement.

Mustang Marine can produce vessels up to 35m in its current facilities , has access to other local building facilities and has ambitions to extend the capacity at Pembroke Dock
