'Kirrie': '50 and still counting' for Penguin Shipyard

摘要

Penguin Shipyard International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Penguin International Limited, has recently completed its 50th Flex-series crewboat - a Flex-38SL - for delivery to the FEMCO Group for deployment off Russia's Sakhalin Island. Measuring 38 metres in length overall, with a beam of 7.6 metres and a draught of 1.89 metres, the 3,000kW multi-role offshore crewboat is based on Penguin's proprietary Flex design, which was introduced to the offshore industry in 2006. The Flex-38SL has a 100 square metre cargo deck area (versus 80 square metres on the Flex-38S) and carrying capacities for 70 passengers and 55 tonnes of deck cargo. According to Penguin, it is capable of reaching speeds of up to 27 knots, making it the world's fastest mid-sized crewboat with mechanical controlled engines.
