The Shuttle 14 CAT Transporter by KND is a sleek, high-speed commercial passenger catamaran featuring an aluminium planing hull and an integrated aluminium wheelhouse superstructure. This high-performance vessel measures 14.0 meters in length overall with a 4.15-meter beam and a shallow 0.53-meter draft, operating at a maximum full-load displacement of 12.79 tons under CE and Bureau Veritas (BV) classification frameworks with HPi CE proof validation. Designed for rapid commuter or VIP harbor transport, its internal layout is optimized for a 30-passenger complement on a single-day endurance baseline, offering dedicated luggage spaces, grab rails, forward embarkation gates, bow access doors, and an onboard area configured to secure a medical stretcher. Generous liquid capacities support daily operations, consisting of a 1,760-liter fuel tank, 750 liters of fresh water, and 210 liters of waste water storage.

To satisfy varying speed requirements, the catamaran offers two recommended high-output outboard motor propulsion configurations. The standard recommended option utilizes twin 400 hp motors for 800 hp of installed power, delivering a maximum speed of 37.4 knots and a cruising speed of 27.8 knots. At this cruise velocity, it burns 132 liters of fuel per hour to secure a 333-nautical-mile operational range. For ultra-high-speed operations, the secondary recommended option steps up to quad 300 hp outboards generating a massive 1,200 hp of installed power, driving the craft to a blistering 45.2-knot maximum speed and a 33.5-knot cruise speed. This high-velocity setup operates at an increased fuel burn rate of 196 liters per hour, compressing the cruising range to 265 nautical miles.

The vessel’s comprehensive electronics network and domestic amenities run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply backed by a recommended 6,540 Ah house battery bank and a heavy-duty 20.4 kW / 25.5 KVA generator set. This extensive power system easily supports a high-output 51,500 BTU/h air conditioning system to keep the passenger cabin completely climate-controlled. Helm operations are managed via a basic navigation pack centered on a 12-inch multi-function display (MFD) integrated with a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B transponder, an autopilot, a 600 W sonar, and a radar system with an 18- or 24-inch dome. Onboard safety is rounded out by legally mandated equipment, including a masthead light, stern light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, emergency flares, navigation charts, and a life raft storage rack. As noted in the KND documentation, these preliminary parameters represent concept-level estimates that remain subject to final design development and detailed engineering.
