An Incat vessel built in Hobart is sitting idle after its transport ship was caught up in disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
It’s a reminder that even our local industries aren’t immune from global instability. What happens on the other side of the world can quickly hit home.

Incat is exploring alternative ways to get the vessel to South America, including using diesel generators to power the electric motors. Let’s hope they find a solution soon.
