Strategic Marine is pleased to announce the successful delivery of the first two Supa Swath vessels to Mainprize Offshore, marking a key milestone under the multi-vessel contract signed at Seawork in June 2024, Europe’s largest on-water commercial marine and workboat exhibition.

This delivery represents the initial handover under the six Supa Swath vessels contracted, with options for a further six units, and follows the earlier 2024 collaboration that saw MO10 and MO11 enter service as part of Mainprize Offshore’s expanding fleet. The programme reflects the continued partnership between Strategic Marine and Mainprize Offshore to strengthen fleet capability in support of offshore renewables operations across Europe.

The Supa Swath vessels are based on a next-generation design developed by Walker Marine Design, offering exceptional stability, operational efficiency, and versatility in demanding offshore environments. Purpose-built to meet the evolving needs of offshore wind operations, the vessels deliver enhanced seakeeping performance, improved fuel efficiency through advanced propulsion systems, and modern navigation and communications technologies to support safe and efficient operations.

Mr. Bob Mainprize, Managing Director of Mainprize Offshore, said:
“The delivery of the first two Supa Swath vessels under this programme is an important step in our fleet expansion. Strategic Marine was selected for these builds due to their consistently high-quality construction and fit-out, which has proven to deliver reliable workhorses for demanding offshore operations. These vessels demonstrate the performance and capability we require to support offshore renewables activities, and we are pleased to see the successful progression of the programme following our contract signing at Seawork.”

Mr. Chan Eng Yew, Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Marine, commented:
“We are proud to deliver the first two Supa Swath vessels to Mainprize Offshore as part of this significant contract. This milestone highlights the strong partnership between our teams and our shared commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality vessels that meet the demands of the offshore renewables sector.”

With this delivery, Mainprize Offshore continues to build momentum towards its planned fleet expansion, positioning the company to meet increasing operations and maintenance requirements across the European offshore wind market. Strategic Marine remains committed to delivering advanced vessel solutions that support the growth of offshore renewables globally.
