Maritime Partner AS secured a contract for delivery of 6 x Alusafe 770 Twin and 6 x G40 Davit systems. The boats will be delivered to STX OSV facilities at Søviknes and Aukra.
This version of the Alusafe 770 twin is fitted with 2xYanmar 4JH3 engines connected to Vosper PP-90 waterjets. The twin system gives excellent maneuvering capability. The boat is also equipped with extended navigation system.
The G-Davit requires the boat to be fitted with a special lifting frame with docking head. An advantage with this is that the boat has a self position cradle system incorporated into the main design. The davit delivery includes built in hydro-pneumatic shock dampened system, hydraulic operated G-boom structure, heave compensated winch, electro-hydraulic power unit and “dead ship” emergency power system.
