First of class cat builds on previous success

摘要

An offshore wind farm service vessel for Offshore Wind Power Marine Services Ltd (OWPMS), of North Wales, was launched in April this year, for a long term contract with Dong Energy on Gunfleet Sands offshore wind farm. Offshore Progress is a first of class South Catamaran 47/15m alloy wind farm service vessel and measures 15.7m length overall, with a 6.3m beam, a draught of 0.9m, and has a lightship displacement of 23.5tonnes. This new design follows on from the success of previous 14m vessels currently in service on Lynn & Inner Dowsing offshore wind farms in the UK, and Q7 offshore wind farm off The Netherlands coast. OWPMS is a specialist supplier of wind farm service vessels and Offshore Progress joins existing vessels Offshore Provider and Fastcat in the OWPMS fleet. OWPMS also has two further vessels on order with South Boats for 2009 delivery.
