HSC Express 3
# HSC Express 3

Express 3 is a high speed catamaran built by Incat for Molslinjen.

## History

In October 2015, Molslinjen placed an order with Incat for the KatExpress 3. She was delivered with the name Express 3 in April 2017.

## Design

Express 3 measures 10,842 GT and is 109.4 metres (359 ft) long, with a beam of 30.5 metres (100 ft) and a draft of 4 metres (13 ft). Her design is based on an earlier 112 metres (367 ft) Incat specification of which Molslinjen operates two examples, but modified for lower fuel consumption and improved vehicle deck efficiency. She can carry 1,000 passengers and up to 411 cars, or up to 227 cars when her 610 lane meter freight deck is occupied by commercial vehicles. She is powered by four 20-cylinder MAN diesel engines that drive Wärtsilä waterjets, giving her a service speed of 40 knots (46 mph) and a maximum speed of 47 knots (54 mph).
