UK's Mainprize Offshore takes delivery of two semi-SWATH crewboats

The hull form has been extensively tank-tested using CFD. The result is a hull design that improves operational performance and reduces fuel consumption and emissions.

The improved seakeeping ability also significantly reduces heave, pitch, and roll, allowing crew transfers to be safely conducted even in wave heights of two metres.

Each crewboat boasts all-aluminium construction, a length of 26 metres, a beam of 10 metres, a draught of only three metres, and capacity for 24 technicians and up to 30 tonnes of cargo on fore and aft decks.
