The Austal Offshore Express 45 was selected by ADNOC to provide fast, comfortable and reliable oil rig crew transfer services in the challenging climate (and seas) of the Arabian Gulf. The all-aluminium catamarans, ordered in 2014 and delivered to ADNOC in August 2015, are the ideal solution to safely and efficiently transporting crew and cargo at high speed to offshore facilities.
The Offshore Express 45 was designed and constructed by Austal for Otto Candies LLC of Louisiana, to play a critical role in their transportation fleet. Two vessels were delivered in 2002 and continue to provide offshore personnel and cargo transportation services in the Gulf of Mexico. With a large cargo deck, seating for 80 personnel and a speed of 25 knots, the Offshore Express 45 is an effective, multi-purpose offshore transport solution.
Specifications and/or general arrangement drawings represent just one example of how this design could be equipped.
