First-ever asymmetrical Meercat in build
Construction of the largest and first-ever asymmetrical Meercat, ordered at Seawork 2012, is progressing well, with delivery planned in the Autumn.
Strangford Moorings, a specialist mooring operator in Northern Ireland, is looking forward to the launch of its new workboat, which will be used as a dedicated mooring laying and marine contracting vessel, joining their MCA coded work barge. The 17 metre steel multirole Meercat (www.meercatworkboats.com) will be equipped with a 40 tonne/metre marine crane and a 7.5 tonne tugger winch, in addition to twin Doosan engines and a 20Kva Beta generator. She will be coded to UK Workboat Code CAT 3.
