Shipbuilder Strategic Marine’s Offshore40 Gen3 crewboat and StratCat26 crew transfer vessel are now available for delivery.
The company said the Offshore40 Gen3 has “market leading fuel economy” with excellent power to speed ratio. The vessel is fully MLC-compliant and is suited for crew transfer, security and multi-purpose roles.
Strategic Marine said the StratCat26 is the first vessel in its class compliant with both UK and German flag state rules for the carriage of 24 technician and service personnel to offshore installations, such as wind farms.
The vessel is available in multiple propulsion configurations.
Strategic Marine group business development manager Reece Newbold said: “The demand we have seen for our Offshore40 Gen3 crewboat and StratCat26 crew transfer vessel convinced us we needed to have a market-ready stock of both.
“Having units on hand eliminates the waiting time for our clients, which allows them to capitalise on commercial opportunities that require the use of vessels that we can supply through this program.
“We have, in the past month, delivered an Offshore40 Gen3 to a client who is successfully deploying it currently in Africa, and a StratCat26 with Quad IPS drives to Opielok Offshore Carriers for use in the European wind farm industry.”
