CTruk will build two more 22m multi-purpose catamaran Wind Farm Service Vessels (WFSVs) for an offshore wind service supplier, CWind, this summer.
Peter Jorgensen, CWind managing director, commented on CWind Sword’s performance: “CTruk’s 22m WFSV has proven to be a valuable addition to the CWind fleet, particularly from a passenger comfort perspective.”
CWind boat share partner Matthew Lane of Ventus Workboats commented about ship’s performance: “We’ve experienced no drop in performance even when carrying large bunker loads and the spacious foredeck will be hugely beneficial for the upcoming demobilisation on this site, giving us twice the deck capacity of the smaller boats.”
The vessels will feature the Volvo IPS system for optimal bollard pull and service speeds, significantly increasing the already renowned fuel efficiency of the company’s vacuum-infused composite catamarans.
The next MPC22 to leave the production line, the 27th WFSV that CTruk has produced since its launch five years ago, will make an appearance at Seawork in Southampton from 16-18 June 2015 before she is officially handed over.
