The contract is for the operation of the Brisbane River ferry services and the maintenance of the vessels and associated infrastructure. SeaLink’s services are planned to commence on 4 November 2020 for a term of up to 15 years and will secure up to 250 local jobs, as well as the operation of 31 vessels and add millions of passengers to the 360 million passengers that the group already moves globally each year. The total contract revenue over the initial ten year term is estimated at approximately $390 million. According to SeaLink Group CEO, Clint Feuerherdt, securing this contract demonstrates the performance capabilities, expertise and strength of the combined group of SeaLink companies. “We had a vision to combine SeaLink’s marine experience and capabilities with Transit Systems’ public transport experience, to become a truly multi-modal transport provider.” “We look forward to working with the Brisbane City Council to deliver innovative and efficient transport services and bringing our people together to deliver a world-class ferry experience in Brisbane,” he said. SeaLink already has marine services in Queensland, operating ferries in South East Queensland to North Stradbroke Island and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, in Hervey Bay to Fraser Island, in Gladstone to Curtis Island, and in Townsville to both Magnetic Island and Palm Island. With the addition of the Brisbane ferry fleet, SeaLink will operate more than 100 vessels around Australia. “Our local knowledge adds to our operational capabilities, and we look forward to assisting Brisbane City Council and the community in supporting the Brisbane Vision 2031 and the River’s Edge Strategy,” he said. Mr Feuerherdt said the contract highlights the significant diversification and growth of the Company since it acquired the Transit Systems group earlier this year.

The system has grown from an initial fleet of four catamaran vessels in 1996 to 21 vessels today. It features an urban scale, a passenger focus, regular scheduling, high speed vessels, a linear route configuration with multiple stops along the river and distinct branding and marketing. Cities elsewhere have since created similar systems. This paper uses innovation theory, derived from the product development literature to help explore how this innovation in the public transport market occurred. A focus was on the development of the CityCat system during the period between 1990 and 2000, a time of significant transformation of the riverine environment in Brisbane City. Six interviews were conducted with key actors involved in the planning and early operation of the ferry system. The results suggest that previous ferry operators with grounded local knowledge and strong economic motivations were central to the preliminary genesis of the concept, but that policy entrepreneurs in local government, harnessing the ferries to a planning agenda around a ‘River City’ and urban renewal were critical to the eventual packaging of what became the CityCats.
