Early November a was signed for the building of a second energy-efficient and fuel-saving aluminium vessel for the offshore wind-industry.

The signing took place at Next Generation Shipyards on Lauwersoog. The building of the vessel was at the initiative of Coastwise Offshore Services.

This combination is reflected in the name under which the new type of vessel is put onto the market: 30 Pax Monomaran Crewtender – Endurance class NG2727. The vessel will be delivered to Coastwise mid-2022 and will sail under the name of COS Mate.

The aluminium vessel is over 27 metres long, provides ample and comfortable room for 30 passengers and can carry a load of 15 to 22 tons. It will be fitted with a deck crane. Its cruising speed is 27 knots.
