Strategic Marine has signed an order to build three crew transfer vessels (CTVs) from Chartwell Marine which will be progressively delivered between 2023 and 2024.
The Brevity-class catamaran design vessel is 27 metres long and has a capacity of 32 personnel.
Due to its signature hull form optimisation, the vessel boasts enhanced manoeuvrability and stability and multiple crew configurations enable flexibility in space planning ad enhance the comfort necessary during long offshore stays, according to Strategic Marine.
The three Brevity CTVs are meant for a new client for the Singapore-based shipbuilder and are the first Chartwell project to be launched in Asia.
The International Renewable Energy Agency estimated that by 2050, Asia could account for over 60 per cent of all offshore wind capacity installed globally. The Global Wind Energy Council expects the Asian offshore market to have installed nearly 100 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
