Following the 2024 deliveries of the Supa Swaths MO10 and MO11, Scarborough, U.K.-based Mainprize Offshore has now taken delivery of two more of the advanced offshore wind support vessels from Singapore-headquartered Strategic Marine. These latest two vessels are the first delivered under a six-vessel contract signed at the Seawork event in June 2024 that also includes options for a further six units.

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.

“The delivery of the first two Supa Swath vessels under this program is an important step in our fleet expansion,” said Bob Mainprize, managing director of Mainprize Offshore. “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 program following our contract signing at Seawork.”

“We are proud to deliver the first two Supa Swath vessels to Mainprize Offshore as part of this significant contract,” said Chan Eng Yew, CEO of Strategic Marine, “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.”
