WALLABY-18
Large daughter craft and small crew transfer vessel
The Wallaby-18 is a high performance catamaran that can be used as a large daughter craft on far offshore Service and Operation Vessels (SOV), as they will be used e.g. on Dogger Bank offshore wind farms. As a result to its rather large dimensions for a daughter craft, the Wallaby-18 is a powerful yet economic crew transfer vessel (CTV) for nearshore offshore wind farms. Passenger comfort, economy and carbon footprint of the WB-18 are stunning. It compares in wave performance to 24m - 28m catamarans but CAPEX, OPEX and carbon footprint are significantly lower (50%-60%) at same wave performance.

Wave performance simulation (ADAMS)
ADAMS simulations of the latest vessel design of the WB-18 show stunning results.
Even at 2,0m Hs, the vessel is easily fulfilling the Carbon Trust definition of a safe transfer in all angles of attack.
