The aluminum power catamaran is a multihull craft built primarily of aluminum or aluminum alloys.
An aluminum power catamaran can be used on rivers or at sea. It has recreational uses (yacht or super-yacht), as well as professional applications (oil spill cleanup, surveillance, etc.).
The aluminum power catamaran has two identical hulls of aluminum or aluminum alloys. The use of two hulls results in shallower draft. Moreover, since aluminum is very light, wetted surface is reduced even more, resulting in less drag and lower fuel consumption.
Aluminum and its alloys are favored over other materials because they resist corrosion in the marine environment.
