Formula

a(n) ~ 3^(3*n+1/2) / (2*Pi*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 19 2014

From Robert Israel, Mar 02 2017: (Start)

G.f.: 3*x*hypergeom([4/3, 5/3], [3], 27*x).

n*(n+2)*a(n+1) = 3*(3*n+1)(3*n+2)*a(n). (End)

Example

a(2) = 6!/(1!*2!*3!) = 60.

Maple

seq(3*(3*n-1)!/((n-1)!^3*n*(n+1)), n=1..20); # Robert Israel, Mar 02 2017
