Strategic Marine has signed the Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance (PODA) with Mainprize Offshore for the MO15 and MO16 vessels, marking a significant step in their ongoing partnership. These vessels are part of Mainprize Offshore’s strategy to expand its fleet, following a multi-vessel contract agreed at Seawork 2024, Europe’s largest on-water commercial marine exhibition.
The MO15 and MO16 vessels, designed by Walker Marine Design, are tailored for the offshore renewables sector in Europe. They feature advanced propulsion systems, enhanced seakeeping performance, and modern navigation technologies, ensuring stability and efficiency in challenging offshore environments. This design is part of the Supa Swath series, known for its versatility and operational efficiency.
Bob Mainprize, Managing Director of Mainprize Offshore, expressed confidence in the partnership, stating, “The signing of the PODA for MO15 and MO16 marks another important milestone in our partnership with Strategic Marine. Their proven track record in delivering robust, high-performance vessels gives us confidence that both vessels will strengthen our fleet’s ability to support offshore renewables projects across Europe.”
Strategic Marine’s CEO, Chan Eng Yew, highlighted the significance of the agreement, saying, “This agreement reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovative vessel solutions that meet the evolving needs of the offshore renewables industry and underscores the strength of our partnership.”
As the demand for offshore wind operations grows, Mainprize Offshore is positioning itself to meet increasing maintenance and operational requirements across Europe, with Strategic Marine playing a crucial role in this expansion.
