"They went to places like China and Hong Kong and I did the deliveries for them."
"It was supposed to take eight months, but we built it in about 7," he said.
Mr Owen said he was quoting to build ferries for other companies currently.
THERE was a buzz around the Gold Coast City Marina recently when the first ferry in about two decades was launched.
MEC was established by Mr Owen four years ago and then two years on, he decided to focus on producing commercial vessels because of the slump in the luxury boat market.
"It is unique in a way for us, but not a big change," said Mr Owen.
But since the new boat has a cruising speed of 24 knots, the passengers may not have much time to stick their feet up and enjoy the technology.

"I believe Riverside will need more ferries and we are hopeful of getting something out of them.

"They produced five from about 23 metres to 32 metres here," he said.
The company also does a lot of refit work, particularly with superyachts, and Mr Owen said the company diversified approach had enabled him to keep about 50 staff and contractors during the downturn.

The workers will have plenty to keep them occupied on the trip, since the catamaran has been fitted with wireless modems and several flat screen televisions, which use satellite services.
While MEC has never built a ferry before, the company did provide the aluminium construction for Brisbane CityCats and Sydney ferries.
Mr Owen is hoping MEC will produce more and better ferries than Atlay Cats did back then and said the quick production of the first one for Riverside Marine, was bound to help.
MEC boss Murray Owen was having flash backs at the boat launch after being involved with the last company that built ferries here, Atlay Cats, in the early 1990s.

The $4 million, 24m ferry has been built by the crew at MEC (Marine Engineering Consultants) for use ferrying LNG construction contractors between Gladstone and Curtis Island.
