32m Passenger Ferry Under Construction in the Philippines - 11/09/2009
Category: Passenger Ferries - Mk 05061  In 2005 we were commisisoned by Ocean Fast Ferries of the Philippines to design them a new heavy duty ferry after they evaulated their needs and reviewed the "Sea Flyte".
The result is a Bureau Veritas class approved passenger ferry, fully kitted and of a structural standard that makes a lot of ferries look like disposable vessels.
Under construction in Cebu in the Southern Philippines, we expect a launch date early in 2010.
This significant kitset was sold by our Marine Kits representative in the Philippines, Steve Tyler, an ex-pat marine engineer who resides there for what he describes as "beautiful scenery" ... Steve also keeps busy with a lot of our detailed engineering design.

30m Offshore Work Catamaran - 16/02/2009
Category: Work Boats - MK 07021  Our latest design, currently under construction at the Fine Entry Marine yard in Geraldton, Western Australia is sure to set the standards even higher.
This is the 6th Catamaran off our design board to be commissioned by Louie Kannikoski's BHAGWAN MARINE, fast becoming the leader in oil and gas support boats in Australia. By using our unique Deep Sea Offshore Catamaran design, Bhagwan Marine is able to win contracts that monohulls simply can not perform.
Our catamarans outperform the monohulls in Speed, Load Carrying and Ride Comfort.
This new boat is powered by a pair of 16V2000M60R MTU engines, driving fixed pitch propellers for a continuous speed of 20 knots at 150 tonnes displacement.
Our next step is to convince the operators of the benefits of controllable pitch propellers (CPP) for this type of work vessel.

But wait, there's still more ... It has a double berth below decks, 6 bolster seats in the cockpit, quad bike storage on the foredeck, kayaks on the roof.
Launched in 2008, the vessel showed excellent performance cruising at 37 knots in 2 metre seas and 20 knots of breeze.
