Thank Bjorn for the link, there I also some great footage on youtube depicting this seacraft at speed.
regards.

Well Doc.I imagine tests for heavy weather sailing have been undertaken before she was built.....I also imagine she passed these tests with flying colours. regards.

Not sure it would be much good in a North Sea storm

Yes Kyle, you hit the nail right on the head with your description of this vessel, could be the design of the future for this kind of vessels servicing oil rigs.thanks and regards.

A profile similar to that seen on many crewboats/fast support vessels. Basically designed with getting a maximum of cargo to a destination (oil rig) in a minimum of time. The long hull form allows for a higher speed, and the large open deck allows for a large variety of cargo. It really must be one of the first examples of applying modern aesthetic trends to this class of vessel.
Kind Regards, Kyle

I wonder why this long and low profile is in aid of...maybe to be used on rivers with low bridges.If she is be painted grey overall, she would look more military stealth like. regards.

Hmm she appears rather strange..... being "very" long but "very" low !
