US operator WINDEA CTV has taken delivery of a new catamaran crewboat. Built by St Johns Ship Building of Palatka, Florida, WINDEA Enterprise belongs to a series that also includes WINDEA Courageous and WINDEA Intrepid.
The design and construction ensures that the crewboat is tailored specifically to meet the unique set of domestic regulations in the United States. The vessel has an LOA of 98.4 feet (30 metres), a beam of 32.75 feet (10 metres), a draught of only 4.58 feet (1.4 metres), a depth of 14.25 feet (4.35 metres), a deadweight tonnage of 50, and space for six crewmembers and up to 24 technicians.
The technicians will be housed in the safety and comfort of a resiliently mounted superstructure. In addition to spacious seating, the main deck level of the superstructure features a large galley and mess area, two bathrooms, and dedicated internal storage space.
The upper deck level of each vessel features a large, elevated wheelhouse as well as two single cabins, two double cabins, and three bathrooms for the crew. The wheelhouse itself has windscreens that are reverse-angled to reduce glare
