Aboitiz Construction takes part in the delivery of the largest high-speed ferry in PH
Aboitiz Construction (ACI) successfully fabricated and installed 20 tons of pillars to the FSTR, a 109 meter high-speed catamaran ferry that was completely delivered by Austal Philippines and considered to be the largest aluminum vessel ever constructed in the country.
The installed pillars consist of hollow tubes that support the mezzanine of the largest ferry by volume that can transport 1,200 passengers and 404 vehicles.
“Our involvement in this project with Austal proves our commitment to delivering quality outputs. We have other ongoing projects with them on shipbuilding and we are optimistic to demonstrate our expertise and further elevate our mission to build a better future,” said Anton Mari G. Perdices, Director, President, and Chairman of ACI.
