‘Dalby Don’ CTV Completes Sea Trials

The newest addition to the Dalby fleet, the Dalby Don underwent her sea trials this week. The Dalby Don is the 7th crew transfer vessel from Great Yarmouth builders Alicat Workboats.

Colin Palmer, Dalby Offshore CTV Fleet Superintendent, said: “Alicat Workboats have truly pulled out the stops of this fantastic 23m CTV. I have skippered numerous Alicat built vessels over the years but this is one of the finest, most practical, comfortable and fastest of the vessels with a maximum speed of 32kts. Powered by twin MAN with Rolls Royce FF550 water jet propulsion this makes the vessel very manoeuvrable with the ROCS vector stick making challenging conditions a pleasure”

Steve Bartram, Operations Manager, also said: “Alicat Workboats have provided Dalby Offshore with another first class CTV, which has passed all expectations in the quality of the build and the level of after sales service. In the past 2 years we have expanded our fleet with a further 5 vessels having a total of 9 CTV’s. This is a testament of our commitment to work with our crews, clients and trusted partners in bringing new innovations in comfort and design to our vessels. The Dalby CTV fleet is very diverse, we can offer our clients various options from the normal pax transfers, to cargo carrying, retro refit work, refuelling, and cleaning of the landing platforms.

“Dalby Offshore has established itself as one of the main players in the renewable industry, providing practical, efficient and cost-effective offshore crew supply and support vessels.”
