Important to raise this since the thread is five years old. The CAT is now in China according to Wikipedia. I recall seeing the boat being used in BC to Vancouver Island before it was sold.
"The Cat was purchased by Fujian Cross Strait Ferry. The vessel has been renamed Hai Xia Hao and now operates between Taichung and Pingtan Island.[2]"
