The vessel is designed with a specific purpose in mind – to support the fish farm sector – and can perform multi-role tasks such as mooring work and towing. The Gina Mary<\/em> boasts two cranes of 48tonne\/m at 18.5m outreach and 100tonne\/m at 22m outreach respectively. With a beam of 9.70m and depth of 3.50m, the vessel is capable of carrying four 20-foot containers on deck or a total of 115 tonnes of deck cargo.<\/p>\n

Built in just 5 months, the Gina Mary<\/em> is the third vessel that Macduff has designed for Inverlussa, with a fourth vessel – already named Keira Fiona<\/em> – due to be delivered in September of this year. The Kiera Fiona<\/em> is a near sister ship to the Gina Mary<\/em> but at 25.5m adds a bit of extra deck space for salmon treatment operations. The second vessel is already well under way in build.<\/p>\n

Both vessels feature a spacious accommodation area, with cabins for 6 crew below decks on the Gina Mary<\/em> as well as an open-plan galley\/lounge area, dry locker, workshop, store and WC on the main deck.<\/p>\n

As one of the vessel\u2019s main duties is to carry peroxide tanks, she is also designed to meet the MCA hazardous cargo regulations.<\/p>\n

Moving below to the engine room, twin 600HP at 1800rpm Caterpillar C18 main engines are installed, driving fixed pitch propellers in nozzles through ZF W650 gearboxes. Auxilliary power is provided a Caterpillar C12 engine a Volvo D7 genset and Cat C4.4 genset.<\/p>\n

Gina Mary<\/em> is able to operate up to 150 miles from a safe haven and is already in service on the West Coast of Scotland. Her sister, the Keira Fiona <\/em>has been designed to comply with Norwegian regulations as well, so has the option of operating in Norway as well as Scotland.<\/p>\n

Macduff Ship Design has had a busy year so far, with a series of new vessels being commissioned and built. Amongst these are a 90\u2019 fishing vessel for Canada as well as a 12.75m pilot boat and a 16m tug being built in Macduff for UK owners.<\/p>\n
