Ah, T & T Express is officially registered/classed as "Incat 046" which is why I couldn't find her. She's an Incat 91-metre type which I think was the prototype for the 96-metre models which came along a bit later.

Hi phil
If I am not mistaken the T&T Express is the sister of the T&T Spirit, below are both
I heard once that they were builded for the US Navy for rapid response.

Hi Capt., The 96-metre wave-piercer is a standard design from Incat. They've built around 6-7 of this type, 3 of which operate for Fred Olsen in the Canary Islands. I don't know of a "T & T Express", but Incat built a "T & T Spirit" for Trinidad & Tobago, which is a 98-metre wave-piercer. Similar, but a slightly different design to the 96-metre.
Kind regards
Phil
