The Parramatta River class are a ferry type operated by Transdev Sydney Ferries on Sydney Harbour.
The ships are designed for future conversion to electric propulsion for low-emissions travel.
History
In June 2023, Transport for NSW announced it had awarded Richardson Devine Marine a contract to build seven Incat Crowther designed ferries in Hobart to replace the RiverCats on Parramatta River services.
The ferries are named in honour of Australians who have made significant achievements in the fields of science, environment, and innovation. The first was delivered in March 2024.
Unlike the River-class ferry fleet, the new vessels do not include a top deck.
