Its hybrid propulsion system is fuel efficient and has low greenhouse gas emissions. With machinery ‘ready’ for methanol propulsion, the design is ready for the future, thereby avoiding costly retrofits.
The design also incorporates BMT’s latest active fender system®, facilitating the safe and efficient transfer of personnel, even in challenging sea conditions. The high standard of outfit means that up to 36 technicians and engineers, and ten crew members, can travel in comfort, the companies said.
BMT senior naval architect, Toby Freeman, commented: “The StratCat35 represents a leap forward in vessel technology for the offshore wind sector, blending sustainability with operational excellence. We’re proud to work alongside Strategic Marine to bring this innovative solution to the market.”
James Lewis, Strategic Marine’s business development manager, commented: “The StratCat35 is a testament to BMT’s exceptional design expertise and our shared commitment to sustainability. Their innovative solutions have truly elevated this vessel’s performance and operational versatility. We are excited to continue our partnership with BMT to push the boundaries of CTV technology in the offshore wind industry.”
