History

Seacat Ships Co., Ltd. opened its doors for business in May 2016 at Ocean Marina Yacht Club in South Pattaya, Thailand. The company was established to produce high-performance aluminium vessels, specialising in high-speed aluminium catamarans, particularly the 'Sea Cat' design. Its team brought together over 35 years of boatbuilding experience, gained in conjunction with Sea Speed Designs, covering vessels from mega yachts to ferries. The company combined Australian design and construction technology with Thai craftsmanship, using Australian supervisors and technicians to oversee projects. From its base at Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Seacat Ships built a shipyard equipped with large construction sheds, hard stand space, a 75-tonne and a 30-tonne shiplift, and launching and marina facilities. It obtained BOI approval, enabling duty-free import of materials and duty-free export of finished vessels. The company has built a range of vessels including pleasure craft, ferries, tourist cruise and dive boats, and landing craft, and has announced contracts such as a 22-metre high-speed ferry. It continues to offer new-build, repair, refit, engineering, electrical, fairing and painting services for aluminium vessels.
