Strategic Marine commissions three new offshore supply vessels

The vessels will be used by a national oil company in Africa for passenger transfer.

Singapore shipbuilder Strategic Marine has commissioned three new offshore supply vessels with a maximum speed of over 53 knots to enable fast and safe passenger transfer to offshore platforms.

Each 35-metre-long vessel is powered by four 16-cylinder mtu Series 2000M72 engines from Rolls-Royce and has been designed as a so-called ‘Surface Effect Ship’ which uses air-cushion technology within a catamaran hull form.

The boats have an optimised power-to-weight ratio and use powerful fans to generate an air cushion between the hulls that minimises hull drag and resistance.

Combined with the mtu propulsion package—each delivering 5,760 kW of power—the vessels can travel at higher speeds than conventional monohulls and catamarans, with consumption remaining at the same per hour of operations.

The vessels will be used by a national oil company in Africa for passenger transfer to offshore platforms and floating production, storage, and offloading vessels.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
