Strategic Marine has signed an order to build three ‘Brevity’-class crew transfer vessels (CTVs) designed by naval architectural consultancy Chartwell Marine. The three 27-metre catamaran design vessels are meant for a new client for the Singapore-based shipbuilder.

The CTVs, which have a capacity of 32 personnel, forms part of Chartwell’s new offshore wind support vessel range, which has seen multiple orders in the UK and USA since its launch in June 2022.The Brevity trio is the first Chartwell project to be launched in Asia.

“We’ve been keen to tap into the Asian market as part of our global expansion,” said Rob Sime, Principal Naval Architect at Chartwell Marine. “Strategic Marine is a key player in the region, and we’re proud to be able to work with them on our own designs, alongside their current CTV roster. Our offshore wind range is built to be a one-stop-shop to meet the varying and increasingly complex needs of the industry, and we hope we can offer some of that support to the ongoing growth of green energy in Asia.”

CEO of Strategic Marine, Chan Eng Yew added: “Strategic Marine is committed to building vessels that will accelerate the growth of the offshore wind industry. The quality of our materials and expertise go hand in hand with Chartwell’s design philosophy of efficiency and adaptability. We are confident of their ability to deliver on both and it is important that we continue to diversify our build strategies; both to capitalise on growing demand for specialised vessels, and to catalyse innovation in the CTV sector as Asian renewables evolve at pace alongside it.”

The CTVs will be progressively delivered between 2023 and 2024. They will feature bespoke layout and features for offshore wind operators.
