SOUTH BOATS WORK BOATS
SOUTH BOATS LEAD THE WAY There are many new players in the wind energy industry and some who stand out from the rest.
What is required in this new and exciting industry are companies and organisations which take the lead and invest in the future – not an easy decision to make in the present financial climate we are experiencing throughout Europe.
Those who do however are reaping the rewards.
South Boats, based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight in the UK fits the bill very nicely.
DEFINITIVE ALUMINIUM CATAMARAN WORK BOATS Their unique design of GRP and aluminium catamaran work boats provide exceptional seakeeping capabilities, unrivalled cargo carrying capacity and crew comfort, even in the harshest conditions.
With a range of work boats starting at 12m to over 30m, South Boats offer a complete package to suit specific projects, including bespoke design, vessel construction, sea trials, crew training and wind turbine access training.
PIONEERS As pioneers of building aluminium catamaran work boats for this industry to class, South Boats continue to work with the classification societies to develop more appropriate rules for all work boats.
By combining modern building practices with highly skilled trades, they produce work boats of the highest quality and plan to fulfil the huge future demand through strategic partnerships with other firms around the world.
South Boats have over the very recent past been very active with specific interest in the wind energy industry including...
