List of Sydney Ferries vessels

Sydney Ferries is a brand name for a commuter ferry service operated by Harbour City Ferries across Sydney Harbour, Australia using seven distinguishable ferry classes. Currently, Sydney Ferries operates 32 vessels, with the oldest continually operating ships dating to the mid-1980s, and the youngest of the fleet dating to 2017. Thirteen of the ships in the high-speed, low-capacity RiverCat, SuperCat, and HarbourCat classes are named after figures in Australian sporting and public life (except for one vessel named SuperCat 4, never given a specific name.) Thirteen in the mid-speed, high-capacity Freshwater class and low-speed, low-capacity First-fleet class are named after beaches in the Northern Beaches region, and ships of the First Fleet, respectively. A new Emerald class of six ships, most named after figures in Australian public life, was commissioned into service from 2017 onwards, with all six built and currently in service on Sydney Harbour. These ferries were named after submissions from the public apart from Bungaree and Pemulwuy. The name of the last, Ferry McFerryface caused controversy. Its commissioning was delayed, entering service late 2017 and renamed May Gibbs in January 2018.[1]

In 2017 it was announced that four new river ferries would be constructed and placed into service by 2019[2] In January 2019 these plans were shelved due to the lack of availability of suitable vessels from shipbuilders.[3]
