Two vessel Seawork order for Buckie
Scotland’s Buckie Shipyard confirmed a new two vessel order for Mainprize Offshore Ltd at Seawork 2012.
Following the recent successful delivery of the South Cat Dalby Derwent, built by Buckie, Mainprize returned for a larger vessel.
The 24m offshore support vessels will be from the Teknicraft design stable and be the first to be built in the UK.
The foil-assisted catamaran, with semi-wave piercing bow, will have a multipurpose capability, being able to carry up to 36,000 litres of fuel for fuel transfer, up to four 20’ containers, or deck cargo.
With an A-frame aft, two position crane and moonpool, the vessels will also be useful for survey and ROV work, diving operations and all other offshore supply and support operations. In crew transfer mode, the craft operate at speeds of over 30 knots.
The first of these vessels will be at Seawork 2013.
