These vessels are the result of decades of shipbuilding experience, incorporating customer feedback to ensure safe, practical working conditions and durable, high-quality construction.

They are specifically designed for tasks such as fish farm support, net handling and cleaning, feed and equipment logistics, mooring and cage handling, maintenance operations, and harvest support.

Our commitment extends beyond delivery, providing full lifecycle support including financing, service and upgrades, all the way to re-sale or recycling.
