First ever vessel built for Australia
The "‘Wave Train" was built for South Sea Logistics Ltd. based in Geraldton, Western Australia. She is a customised version of the popular ‘Wave Angler’ class of vessels from Alnmaritec and is the first boat that the company has ever sold to Australia.
"Wave Train" is an aluminium asymmetric catamaran, 10.15m long and 4.8m wide, with a displacement of around 11 tonnes. She is fitted with twin Cummins QSB diesel engines driving through conventional ZF gearboxes to a pair of Hamilton 292 waterjets. These give her a top speed of 22 knots, a bollard pull of two tonnes and a manoeuvrability which make her ideally suited for close quarters work around the harbour. She carries a complement of 3 crew and 6 passengers in comfort within the air conditioned wheelhouse and she has a large working deck aft which is serviced by a Palfinger PK 2500 hydraulic knuckle boom crane and a 2 tonne hydraulic capstan.
South Sea Logistics provides a range of maritime logistical services in the Western Australia region. Upon arrival the ‘Wave Train’ has immediately been leased from them by a major corporation in the iron ore sector based in Cape Lambert and she is currently being used for duties such as crew transfer, pilotage and line handling.
