Offshore Vessels

Austal has developed a range of rugged, reliable and efficient work boat platforms designed to offer improved operating economics and safe, productive solutions for the offshore wind farm industry and oil and gas sector.

These high speed crew / supply boats are designed to provide a safe alternative to conventional helicopter crew transfers while also providing a time sensitive supply service to the industry.

The primary role of the crew boats is for regular personnel transport and delivery of time sensitive supplies, but their versatility also makes them highly suitable for:

  • wind turbine maintenance and service
  • platform evacuations
  • short term stand-by
  • rapid response search and rescue
  • oil spill containment
  • ROV operations platform
