On 1 June 1992 the service opened using SeaCat Scotland, a fast 74 metre Incat craft built in the same year.
[1] In 2003, P&O Irish Sea began to serve Troon on a seasonal basis, in direct competition to SeaCat.
[3] When SeaCat were reviewing their service they expressed views on how the shipping industry underwent immense change.
When the company was formed back in 1992 they were the first car-carrying high speed catamarans on the Irish Sea.
In 2000, when SeaCat switched services to Troon, they had success which was in the forms of full vessels per sailing.
This was short-lived when in 2003 P&O Ferries Irish Sea also began operating a Larne-Troon service, which beat SeaCat's time by 40 minutes.
P&O Ferries subsequently reviewed and ceased their Larne to Troon service in 2015, citing poor passenger volumes.
Belfast Car Ferries later operated the service to Liverpool (Brocklebank Dock) which closed in October 1990.
The Donegall Quay terminal lay disused once again for 3 years, and was eventually demolished in 2011.
The harbour area which SeaCat once occupied at Stranraer has since been developed into a marina as part of the waterfront redevelopment being carried out by Dumfries and Galloway Council.
On 31 October 2002 SeaCat Scotland left Troon for the final time and was laid-up at Belfast and overhauled.
She left Belfast for the final time at 16:20 on 8 November 2004 bound for Sunderland to be laid up with Seacat Scotland, Emeraude France and Diamant.
