Singapore’s shipbuilder Strategic Marine is hailing the signing and delivery of its first surface effect ship (SES) to All Energies Services, a move which is described by the company as a “groundbreaking moment for its advancement within the offshore oil and gas sector.”
The 35-meter SES vessel, designed specifically for offshore crew transfer operations, reaches speeds of over 50 knots and offers offshore transfers in challenging sea conditions of up to 2.5 meters, according to the shipbuilder.
The contract marks a major step in Strategic Marine’s ongoing collaboration with AIRCAT Vessels, ESNA-Espeland and Skomedal Naval Architects and AES bringing a 35-meter SES vessel to life.
The company after the delivery of this first surface effect ship (SES) looks for future opportunities to expand its SES offerings globally.
Chan Eng Yew, CEO of Strategic Marine, shared his thoughts on the occasion: “We are delighted to deliver our first SES to AES, a testament to Strategic Marine’s commitment to providing innovative, high-speed solutions for the offshore market.
“Our ongoing partnership with AIRCAT and ESNA has been instrumental in making this vision a reality, and we anticipate continued success as we push the boundaries of what’s possible in crew transfer operations.”
