It's some sort of custom designed catamaran that was built in WA. There's more info here.

Hmmm... Looks to me as though it's built to have interchangeable loads.
It looks like they need to suspend whatever the load is, rather than just put a platform between the two floats.

The scary part to me is the name of this vessel: the "S.S. Kim J-I"

Oh, and here I thought it might be a new-style ferry to get OHSU docs from the Eastside to the Westside. Wouldn't want those precious babies to have to cross the Marquam or Sellwood bridges from their Laurelhurst, Irvington, or Eastmoreland homes.

It's the vehicle that Jim Karlock wants everyone to use once Metro has been disbanded..:)

It's Dr. Evil's boat.

I've heard that the vessel will be attempting a new world record in circumnavigating the world by powered craft. It might make it.

You can read all about it on the USPTO web site, search for patent number 6874439.
It is a "Flexible ocean-going vessel" with surface conforming hulls.'
