Strategic Marine, an aluminum shipbuilder, marked the naming and delivery of Putri Mayang Sari on August 12, 2026, the first of three next-generation 43-meter passenger catamarans under construction for Bintan Resort Ferries (BRF) at the company’s Singapore shipyard.
Designed and built by Strategic Marine, Putri Mayang Sari is intended to support BRF’s fleet renewal and expansion plans, enhancing passenger transport services between Singapore and Bintan. The vessel can accommodate up to 293 passengers across two decks, including 57 Emerald Class seats, and features a modern passenger-centric design that enhances onboard comfort while supporting efficient and reliable operations.
The delivery follows the vessel’s keel-laying in September 2025 and marks the successful progression of the first vessel in BRF’s three-ferry newbuild program.
Bintan Resort Ferries currently operates a fleet of three vessels, with two additional newbuild vessels scheduled to enter service during 2026. Upon delivery of all three vessels, BRF will benefit from increased fleet capacity, greater operational flexibility and enhanced service resilience on the Singapore-Bintan corridor.
Construction of the remaining two catamarans is progressing at Strategic Marine’s Singapore shipyard, with deliveries scheduled during 2026 as part of BRF’s ongoing fleet modernization program.
Putri Mayang Sari will enter service as the first vessel in BRF’s new three-ferry fleet, supporting the operator’s long-term growth and commitment to reliable passenger transportation.
