PUTRI MAYANG SARI

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

High-speedStrategic Marine has delivered PUTRI MAYANG SARI, the first of three new 43-metre catamaran ferries it is building for Bintan Resort Ferries (BRF), at a naming ceremony at its Singapore shipyard. The vessel, which had its keel laid in September 2025, can carry up to 293 passengers across two decks, including 57 Emerald Class seats, and will serve the Singapore–Bintan route as part of BRF's fleet renewal programme.

"The delivery of PUTRI MAYANG SARI reflects the strong partnership, trust and shared vision between Strategic Marine and Bintan Resort Ferries to enhance regional connectivity and support the continued growth of tourism in Bintan and the wider region," said Chan Eng Yew, CEO of Strategic Marine.

BRF currently runs a fleet of three vessels; the two remaining newbuild catamarans are due to enter service later in 2026, which the operator says will boost capacity, flexibility and service resilience on the route.

"These 43-metre catamaran ferries reflect our commitment to making that connection more reliable, comfortable and convenient for our passengers," said Sebastian Koh, General Manager of Bintan Resort Ferries.

Construction of the remaining two vessels continues at Strategic Marine's Singapore shipyard.
