SINGAPORE, 6 January 2025 – Strategic Marine is proud to announce the signing and delivery of its first Surface Effect Ship (SES) to All Energies Services, a groundbreaking moment in the company’s advancement within the offshore oil and gas sector. 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 revolutionary 35-meter SES vessel to life.
This high-performance SES, designed specifically for offshore crew transfer operations, reaches speeds of over 50 knots and offers seamless offshore transfers in challenging sea conditions of up to 2.5 meters. The vessel’s cutting-edge design and technology ensures reduced emissions and improved sustainability to align with the evolving needs of the maritime industry.
Mr. 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. This vessel represents a significant leap forward in comfort, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, and we look forward to further expanding our capabilities of building SES vessels in the years to come. 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.”
Key Features of the SES Vessel:
- Unmatched Speed and Efficiency: Capable of reaching speeds of over 50 knots, the SES reduces transit times and enhances offshore crew transfer operations.
- Tailored for Offshore Conditions: With reinforced hull and SES active motion dampening technology, the vessel ensures safe and efficient transfers even in challenging sea states.
- Very low noise and vibration with reduced motions while underway thanks to the vessel’s active air cushion.
This SES vessel is a game-changer for the offshore oil and gas industry, offering AES a pioneering solution to enhance crew comfort and safety, reduce transit time, and lower environmental impacts. As Strategic Marine delivers this first SES, the company looks forward to future opportunities to innovate and expand its SES offerings globally.
Strategic Marine extends its deepest appreciation to AES, AIRCAT, and ESNA for their invaluable partnership and trust. This collaboration has set a new standard for offshore crew transfer vessels, and we anticipate more successful projects ahead.
Stay connected with us as we continue to drive innovation in maritime engineering and shipbuilding, shaping the future of offshore crew transfer operations.
