Strategic Marine delivers Gen4 fast crew boats

Designed specifically for offshore energy support, the 42-metre vessels have been developed in close collaboration with Southerly Designs.

“We are delighted to deliver our first two Gen 4 Fast Crew Boats to Aesen and welcome them into our growing portfolio of global clients,” said Chan Eng Yew, chief executive of Strategic Marine.

“These vessels reflect our continued drive to deliver advanced, efficient and client-focused maritime solutions that address the evolving needs of the offshore sector.”

Each vessel features a proven hull form that optimises fuel consumption, seakeeping and environmental sustainability. They can accommodate up to 80 crew and are ready for future integration of walk-to-work or motion-compensated gangway systems.

“As a global leader in crew mobility, we are constantly pursuing innovative technologies that enhance safety, efficiency and performance for our clients,” said Darren Ang, chief executive of Aesen.

“The addition of Aesen 107 and Aesen 108 strengthens our capabilities and reinforces our position as a forward-looking solutions provider in the offshore marine industry.”

Strategic Marine is hailing the delivery as evidence of its increasing reach across key offshore markets and growing reputation as a trusted partner for innovative and reliable vessel solutions.

The two new crew boats are set to enter service in the fourth quarter of 2025.
