Strategic Marine delivers first of three new catamaran ferries for Bintan Resort Ferries

Specialist aluminium shipbuilder Strategic Marine marked the naming and delivery of Putri Mayang Sari on 12 August 2026, the first of three next-generation 43-metre passenger catamarans under construction for Bintan Resort Ferries (BRF) at the company's Singapore shipyard.

The delivery represents a key milestone in the vessel construction programme and reflects Strategic Marine's capability in delivering advanced aluminium ferries that support the evolving transportation needs of regional operators.

Designed and built by Strategic Marine, Putri Mayang Sari is intended to support BRF's fleet renewal and expansion plans, enhancing passenger transport services between Singapore and Bintan. The vessel can accommodate up to 293 passengers across two decks, including 57 Emerald Class seats, and features a modern passenger-centric design that enhances onboard comfort while supporting efficient and reliable operations.

The delivery follows the vessel's keel-laying in September 2025 and marks the successful progression of the first vessel in BRF's three-ferry newbuild programme.
