The Hovercraft Baien featured in this image was visible a number of times from the deck of the SS Shieldhall during the 2023 Round the Island Race. I believe she may have been under test or used for demonstration purposes at the time. A search of the Internet reveals that she is one of three (presumably the first given the 01 number on her hull) Griffin Hoverworks 12000TD Hovercraft ordered from the company by the Oita Prefecture in Japan. She is 23.7 metres long, designed to carry 80 people at speeds of up to 45 knots and is to be used to provide ferry services between Oita airport and Oita City.
