VEEM Marine has partnered with Strategic Marine in the launch of the the latter’s new Aluminium 42m Gen 4 Fast Crew Boat (FCB) developed in collaboration with Southerly Designs.
Under the agreement, VEEM Marine will supply its VG140SD Gyrostabiliser for installation on the Gen 4 FCB which will significantly reduce the vessel’s rolling motion, by up to 80% increasing safety and efficiency during personnel transfer and cargo operations. The gyro when coupled with a motion compensated gangway enhances the level of safety for personnel transfers to an offshore installation and will maximise operability.
The delivery of the vessel, scheduled for the end of Q12023, is particularly relevant for the aging Southeast Asian crew boat fleet that is primed for renewal, in an industry that is continually looking for safer and more cost-effective solutions to personnel transfer vis-à-vis helicopters.
