The EDA-R (Engin de Debarquement Amphibie Rapide) is a French roll-on/roll-off catamaran landing craft (L-CAT design) ferrying vehicles, cargo and troops from Mistral-class ships to shore. Egypt acquired two units around 2015 with its Mistral-class purchase; the catamaran hull gives higher speed and shallower beaching.
