Strategic Marine has successfully delivered the second 27-metre Z-Bow Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) to Taiwan for a valued customer, completing the two-vessel programme and strengthening its ongoing support for offshore wind operations in the region.

Purpose-built for offshore wind farm duties, the vessel was developed in close collaboration with BMT Limited and features advanced marine engineering to ensure reliable performance in demanding operating conditions. Equipped with controllable pitch propellers, bow thrusters, and an Active Fender System, the CTV offers enhanced manoeuvrability, operational efficiency, and safe personnel transfers.

The handover of this second vessel reflects Strategic Marine’s consistent execution across multi-vessel construction programmes and its ability to deliver specialised vessels that meet regional and operational requirements.

The delivery also marks the successful completion of a four CTV building programme signed with the customer back in Q2 2024.

Mr. Chan Eng Yew, Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Marine, commented:

“The successful delivery of the second 27m Z-Bow CTV to Taiwan marks another step forward in our collaboration with the customer. These vessels highlight our focus on building dependable, high-performance solutions that support the continued expansion of offshore wind energy.”

Strategic Marine continues to work closely with operators and partners worldwide to deliver innovative aluminium vessels that meet the evolving needs of the offshore wind sector.
