Several catamarans built by Incat have entered naval services, including HMAS Jervis Bay with the Royal Australian Navy and HSV-X1 Joint Venture and HSV-2 Swift, which served with the United States Armed Forces. It has since diversified into river going catamaran ferries for Thames Clippers, Bass & Flinders Cruises and Sydney Ferries and building the Brooke Street Pier.
