Bangkok, 11 March 2025 – The keel laying ceremony of the first, revolutionary WIND Flyer Trimaran Fast Crew Boat took place at Marsun Public Company Limited in Thailand. The 35-metre Trimaran highlights significant milestone in redefining innovation in Oil and Gas industry.
This achievement has been made through the exceptional collaboration of all stakeholders. We are truly grateful to Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, Ltd. and Uniwise offshore for their support on this project.
The trimaran design, designed by Wind Naval Architects in collaboration with Marsun Public Company Limited, offers a combination of multiple advanced features that produce a game-changer for offshore operations.
Notably, it is designed to operate effectively in challenging wave conditions up to 2.5 meters both during transfer and transit, significantly increasing operational availability, while still maintaining ample cargo and fuel capacity for a variety of offshore tasks
The three slender hulls of the trimaran, combined with motion damping foils offer high-speed transit operation of 34 knots, while reduces motion sickness, minimizes fatigue and provides a much smoother ride. The hull is specially designed to be Semi-Small Water Plane (Semi-SWATH) to increase safety during transfer passenger to/from offshore platform. The emphasis is also on interior design to delivery crew comfort and passenger experience by offering business-class seating experience and 270-degree view.
