catamaraninboard

This is the third of the new larger Wave Handler design to be delivered by Alnmaritec. At just over 12m she is 2m longer than the previous Wave Handler boats and with 1000bhp of installed power she packs a powerful punch indeed. She is fitted with Twin ‘Trakor Jets’ from North American Marine Jets designed specifically to give her an exceptionally high bollard pull for line handling work whilst retaining all the advantages of a water jet propulsion package on the boat and she has control stations both fore and aft. She has a 2 tonne hydraulic capstan and a 5 tonne tow post with quick release hook on the spacious aft working deck and she has a bow landing platform for personnel transfer. She will serve in Line Handling duties with an FPSO in Ghana where she joins a growing number of vessel from Alnmaritec already successfully operating in the region.
