Keels Laid for Two Aluminum OSVs
Triangle Marine Services and Marine Core & Charter host keel laying ceremony for two Aluminum Fast Offshore Support Vessels
UAE-based shipbuilder Triangle Marine Services has laid the keels of two new 45-meter Aluminum Fast Offshore Support Vessels, awarded in November 2014 by UAE-based client Marine Core & Charter LLC. The new builds mark the company’s first shipbuilding project to signify their entry into the offshore market.
The ceremony took place at Triangle Marine’s facility in Dubai Maritime City, and was attended by representatives from Triangle Marine, Marine Core & Charter LLC and Camarc Design as well as many representatives from a variety of marine organizations and service providers.
The new 45-meter Aluminum Fast Offshore Support Vessels by U.K. designers Camarc feature a hull designed to optimize the power required to reach speeds of up to 30 knots, combined with excellent sea keeping and a wide operational envelope. The design features a deck area of 140 sqm and fuel cargo capacity of 100 metric tons. A luxury area for 12 VIP guests is incorporated along with a seating capacity for 100 personnel.
These first two vessels by Triangle Marine will support the Marine Core & Charter LLC fleet and are scheduled for delivery in November 2015.
