Dory 2 has arrived at her new homeport of Papeete after a successful delivery voyage from Austal Vietnam.
Members of the Austal Vietnam team were aboard for the journey to French Polynesia, where Dory 2 will link Tahiti and the Palliser Islands for the Degage Group.
The 71-metre custom-built RoPax cargo vessel is the first Austal Vietnam project constructed in both aluminium and steel.
She is a gamechanger for Austal, establishing us as a multi-material shipbuilder in the region.
To mark Dory 2’s homecoming, here are flashbacks to some other key milestones in the vessel’s life – the launch and sea trials.

Construction: Steel (hull) and aluminium (superstructure)
LOA: 71.10 metres
Beam: 14.6 metres
Draft: 4.08 metres
Passengers: 140

Cargo capacity: 494 square metre cargo deck for containers, palletised freight and vehicles
