FastCat: Navigating the Future With iStow

We’re proud to share the ongoing success of iStow on the FastCat M19 catamaran owned by Archipelago Philippine Ferries Corporation (APFC).

Partnering for success at sea. We’re proud to share the ongoing success of iStow on the FastCat M19 catamaran owned by Archipelago Philippine Ferries Corporation (APFC), Manila. Since September 2023, iStow has been onboard, automating stability calculations and preparing cargo manifest —fast, precise, and seamless. And as we visit onboard, we brought the latest update of iStow for MV. FastCat M19 (Version 2.5.2.5).

Innovation keeps us moving forward. Our latest update—seamlessly deployed during a late-night Batangas-Calapan voyage on February 21, delivers enhanced optimization, new features, and an improved 3D visualization experience. With the updates provided, it is hoped that FastCat M19 and Archipelago Philippine Ferries Corporation will become a large, safe, effective, and efficient company.
