This first delivery to NMDC LTS marks an important milestone for Strategic Marine, showcasing its ability to secure new partnerships with leading operators in the region.
Purpose-built for offshore operations in the Middle East, the vessels highlight Strategic Marine’s commitment to delivering innovative and reliable vessel solutions tailored to client and regional requirements.
Designed in close collaboration with Southerly Designs, the vessels feature Strategic Marine’s proven hull form to maximise fuel efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance seakeeping performance.
