The L-CAT® Ship-to-Shore, manufactured by CNIM, a French company, is a fast and innovative landing craft. With its Ro-Ro design integrating a mobile loading platform in a catamaran hull, the L-CAT® Ship-to-Shore can unload men, armored vehicles and equipment in the absence of port facilities and in shallow water.
L-CAT® Ship-to-Shore is a sea & combat proven ship. It is in active service since 2011 in the French Navy and since 2016 in the Egyptian Navy. It proves each day its ability to support the Armed Forces on a global scale for both military and civilian assistance operations. L-CAT® Ship-to-Shore can deploy either a fully motorized infantry platoon complete with its vehicles and equipment,a single heavy (M1, Leopard 2, Leclerc) Main Battle Tank, or 80 tons of military or disaster relief equipment. |

Measuring 30 meters long and 12.6 meters wide, the L-CAT® Ship-to-Shore offers a maximum payload capacity of 100 tons. It can reach speeds of up to 30 knots when empty, and 18 knots when loaded to maximum payload. During amphibious operations, it guarantees optimal transit speed, rapid loading and unloading of the deck, and thus a reduction of threat exposure time, while enabling a mother ship to remain a safe distance from the coastline if necessary.
 The L-CAT Ship-to-Shore offers an innovative variable draft system: » In Catamaran mode, the L-CAT Ship-to-Shore acts as a coastal catamaran. The platform is raised. The catamaran supports the mobile platform. » In Landing Vessel mode, the L-CAT Ship-to-Shore acts as a landing craft. The platform is lowered into the water and supports the catamaran. The draft is reduced. |
