Would this boat be at home as a fast passenger ferry, a crew transporter to oil rigs, an offshore wind farm service vessel or even a wildlife safari boat? At 31–knots max and a 25–knot cruising speed the Turkish built Alen Shuttle features 34 marine type passenger seats and a service area including a crew cabin giving it quite a few possibilities in an Irish context. 

The builders say they have 'created a fast, agile craft combining style with the reliability of a workboat'
