Military at Sea Logistics are going to get another boost if they go ahead with vehicles like this for deployments. Between ISO containers & Flat Racks, roll-on/Roll-off ships, and these fast catamarans its few orders of magnitude faster than the old method of lifting on and off boxes at a time, slinging loads off a ship with a crane at a dock and waiting for slow freighters to make the journey....

The really neat thing is these cats are made by the Aussies!
