CWind Phantom Officially Named

Colchester-based CWind has officially named the CWind Phantom, a 27-metre aluminium catamaran Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV).

The 2015-built CWind Phantom is able to hold 20,000 litres of fuel and has a 20 ton cargo capacity, making her suitable for longer stretches of work at wind farms located further from shore, CWind said.

The CWind Phantom can carry up to 12 passengers, with berths for eight people overnight.

Featuring an aluminium hull with 8m beam width and 1.4m draft, the vessel can carry containers in a combination of configurations, while an on board crane can lift 1.1 tons at 5m outreach. The jet-driven vessel is powered by two MAN D2862 main engines and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 27kn.

The CWind CTV fleet now totals 18, with access to additional cable installation and maintenance vessels as part of the Global Marine Group.
