This 120 x 40 aluminum SWATH crew boat was built
in 1999 for Trico Marine
to quickly shuttle as many
as 250 passengers to
offshore platforms. She was
built by Eastern
Shipbuilding Group and designed
by Petrobras. The goal was
to create an offshore
crew transport vessel that
would phase out costly
helicopter rides and rough
voyages on convention,
mono-hull crew boats. The
SWATH design provided
a smooth ride and met the
requirements of an
average speed of 25 knots.
This vessel is
capable of speeds over 30
knots.
The ergonomic requirements were defined to limit
the incidence of
seasickness to less than 5% in 4 hours
exposure in the 2- to 3-
meter seas so common to the
Campos Basin where the
vessel would operate. They
also required comfortable
seating, ample legroom
and an HVAC system with a
relatively high rate of
exchange. The final design
presented a number of
challenges, while
incorporating many high tech features,
such as a gas turbine
coupled to controlled pitch
propellers via a 27:1
reduction gear and an active fin system.
