Commercial Power Catamaran Design
TMD 50’ x 20’ Offshore wind farm Service Catamaran.
- 12 technicians, 2 crew.
- Unsinkable foam sandwich Carbon Fibre and Kevlar construction.
- Stronger and lighter than aluminium, won't crack or corrode, quieter, doesn't sweat.
The raised foredeck, wave piercing bows, foil assist and air lubricated hulls allows our lightweight power catamarans to safely and comfortably handle offshore conditions faster and smoother than most other vessels. Our speed will economically produce up to 60 additional man hours per week on site working time per 12 man crew boat when compared to slower mono-hull and catamaran crew boats. These additional man hours of work per week will soon add up to real dollars saved as they are put to work producing faster build times for your wind farm and a quicker maintenance turnaround for your ongoing maintenance program.

All our commercial designs are built using epoxy resin infused carbon fibre and kevlar foam sandwich. This combination is presently the lightest and strongest low maintenance method available. Carbon fibre is the material of choice for Boeing and Airbus to construct the fuselage and wings of their latest commercial airliners, which atests to its outstanding abilities. It is superior to aluminium; it is stronger, lighter, does not corrode or sweat and is quieter.
The lightweight of our carbon fibre moulded construction has ongoing economies of scale that will manifest themselves in the form of lower construction, operating and maintenance costs.
