PacifiCat Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PacifiCat Series or Fast Cat fast ferries were operated from 1999 to 2000 by BC Ferries. They were sold in 2003 to the Washington Marine Group, and are currently stored at Vancouver Shipyards Limited until their fate is decided.
Two of the three ferries were used for service; the third one was delivered as the Fast Cat operation was abandoned.
