Triple orders from Iceni

South Boats IOW and Alicat Workboats today received an order from Iceni Marine Services for a new vessel and an option for two more.

The order is for a new build South Boats IOW 23m Offshore Wind CTV, which will feature twin MAN V12-1400 main engines coupled to Hamilton HM651 water jet propulsion.

This will allow the vessel to reach speeds of up to 30 knots and efficient cruising speeds coupled to high bollard pull capability. 

The vessel will be called Iceni Defender and will be built at Great Yarmouth. It is essentially a repeat order for the 2015 delivered Iceni Vengeance, which is currently working on operations and maintenance with RWE Innogy’s flagship Gwynt y Mor offshore wind farm.

Iceni Marine Services Richard Thurlow said: “Having fully researched the market we have once again selected the South Boats IOW 23m. 

“The capabilities demonstrated by the ‘Iceni Venture’ and ‘Iceni Vengeance’, our existing 23m vessels have been nothing short of remarkable.”
