The turnover is a milestone event in the upside-down hull building method but even more significant when it’s for a first-of-its-kind vessel.
The turnover operation for WIND Flyer Trimaran Fast Crew Boat at Marsun’s shipyard in Samut Prakan required meticulous planning and calculation by the in-house engineering team to achieve accuracy, safety, and structural alignment. Marsun uses the upside-down hull building method to ensure superior welding quality and structural precision.
The new vessel, built for oil and gas operation, will showcase a successful integration of advanced maritime technologies—Semi-SWATH trimaran hull, motion-damping foils, and high-efficiency waterjet propulsion—delivering next-generation performance for offshore operations.
The WIND Flyer Trimaran Fast Crew Boat is capable of service speeds at 34 knots, with exceptional seakeeping in rough seas up to 2.5 metres. Designed for critical offshore operations, it offers a practical alternative to helicopters for crew transfers—enhancing safety, comfort, and cost-effectiveness.
Marsun has delivered over 355 vessels since 1980, providing reliable, high-performance solutions for both defence and commercial marine sectors.
