Bob Clifford Business Exploits

Clifford spent much of his early years as a fisherman and turned his passion for the sea into a backyard boat-building operation. He was immediately successful, and promoted the idea of fast commuter ferries, and turned his company into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-speed catamaran ferries.

The Tasman Bridge disaster result in high demand for Clifford’s ferry business. Developing much of the technology locally, Incat researched and designed high-tech, high-speed wave-piercing catamarans.

Bob Clifford Incat

By September 1977, Incat launched their first high-speed catamaran at Prince of Wales Bay, Tasmania. Since then they have expanded their operation into 98- and 112-meter wave piercer production.

The catamarans have proved to be one of Australia’s best industrial success stories of recent years, and during the dark days of the 1990s when Tasmania’s economy was suffering badly, the product provided a ray of hope to the ailing state.

Over twenty of the catamarans have been sold to European operators, and a higher number has been sold to the US military. At the height of its success, Incat held more than 40%of the world’s high-speed ferry manufacturing market.

Although the market has slowed, Incat has moved into the production of catamaran freight vessels, and they are developing the design for even longer, 150-meter ferries.

Clifford’s catamarans have also broken the record for the Atlantic Ocean crossing and won many design awards. Clifford famously does not pursue intellectual rights to his designs or products, preferring instead to try staying ahead of his competitors through savvy technological advances
