Manor Marine launches Mainprize Offshore Ltd vessel MO8, ahead of final build works
With Lifting assistance from Ainscough Crane Hire, Manor Marine successfully launched the Mainprize Offshore Ltd vessel MO8 into the water last week, following several months in build onsite in Portland, Dorset.
The MO8 will now undergo internal fitout and final works, before sea trials and delivery to Mainprize Offshore later this year.
Manor Marine had secured a contract with Mainprize Offshore to build an offshore multi role windfarm service vessel in July 2021; the MO8 is a bespoke in-house designed 26-metre Supa Swath catamaran designed by Walker Marine Design. The vessel has 175m2 of deck space, a cargo capacity of 35 tonnes, seating for 24 passengers and a maximum speed of 27 knots.
