Singapore-based shipbuilder Strategic Marine has delivered a StratCat 27 crew transfer vessel (CTV) to multi-utility energy company ORLEN to operate in Poland’s growing offshore wind sector.

The vessel is designed specifically for offshore wind farm operations and is scheduled to begin operations in the North Sea before transitioning to the Polish exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea.

It is equipped with advanced technologies, as Strategic Marine claims, and meets the Tier III emission requirements. The vessel is hybrid-ready, allowing for future adaptation to alternative energy sources.

It is also equipped with cutting-edge navigation and communication systems.

Its reinforced hull plating makes it capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the Baltic Sea, according to the shipbuilder.

The crew transfer vessel can accommodate up to 9 crew members and 24 passengers.

Chan Eng Yew, chief executive officer of Strategic Marine, said: “The StratCat 27 is built with future in mind, offering hybrid readiness, emission compliance, and the ability to operate in harsh sea conditions. We are proud of our collaboration and look forward to supporting their continued success in the offshore wind market.”
