Semi-SWATH wind farm support vessel to be offered in three versions
The CTruk design has been developed in collaboration with naval architects BMT Nigel Gee
The design has been developed in collaboration with naval architects BMT Nigel Gee. The company plans to build the hull form in advanced composite, giving the vessel enhanced seakeeping benefits of SWATH technology and the load-carrying capacity of a catamaran alongside increased power and speed gained from weight-saving composite. The 26.3m semi-SWATH design is said to offer significant improvements in motion levels over conventional vessels. Powered by two MTU 12V engines, the composite version of this proven vessel is expected to achieve 25 knots fully loaded with a maximum speed 29 knots. CTruk will enhance the design with its patented reconfigurable deck to offer three versions: a crew transfer vessel, a 60-passenger crew supply vessel and a hydrographic survey vessel with accommodation.
