Big Orders for Ultra Guard at Seawork 2023
Monday, 19th June 2023
Ultraguard have been given the contract to provide ultrasonic biofouling protection on twenty-four new vessels ordered by Farra Marine on the first day of Seawork 2023 in Southampton.
The new vessels are to be built by Penguin International Ltd in Singapore.
These new vessels are a significant investment by the Irish-based Farra Marine. This expansion of their fleet of modern new built CTVs is a mark of the success that Farra has built in the offshore renewables sector.
Both Farra Marine and Penguin International are repeat Ultraguard customers and we’re extremely proud to be their preferred choice for ultrasonic protection. It was great to see them again at Seawork 2023.
Each vessel will have six Ultraguard Master Series MS02 units installed, three in each hull sponson. The twelve transducers will give the vessel an even spread of protection from biofouling such as mussels and barnacles which would cause the vessel to lose operating speed as well as increase it’s fuel consumption and emissions.
Ultraguard’s Sales Director Gavin Fisher said: “I am really happy for Martin and everyone at Farra Marine with their fleet expansion. The 144 MS02 units we will be supplying them will help keep the vessels operating efficiently and clean”
In what was a record-breaking day for Ultraguard at Seawork 2023, we also took significant orders from two further customers.
