Vehicles were stowed in and between both waterborne hulls in a configuration of rising and descending decks which loaded from a single-level transfer bridge at the stern.

The ship was sold to Bay Ferries after the first season, but during the 2000–2001, 2001–2002 summer peak periods it was charted to again run the George Town to Station Pier route as the Devil Cat.

The vessel departed Hobart on April 26, 1998, arriving in Yarmouth on May 20, 1998, to great fanfare from the American and Canadian news media.

At the end of the summer season, Incat 046 was relocated to Newcastle where it was dry-docked and handed over to Bay Ferries for the Trinidad - Tobago run.

Bay Ferries maintained the Interisland Line's marketing graphics on the vessel and referred to it as The Lynx during this period.

She maintained the official registered name of INCAT 046 but was marketed as the T&T Express and operated by Bay Ferries Management Ltd. on behalf of the government.
