Versatile working platform
Twin Yamaha 130HP shaft-drive engines provide a working speed of 6 to 9 knots, while a bow landing door and hydraulic deck machinery allow her to load, transport and discharge up to 16 tonnes of deck cargo onto beaches, slipways and unimproved shorelines. A Guerra M65.20A3 crane with integral winch, a bespoke Mooney Boats 2-tonne hydraulic deck capstan and wheelhouse-controlled landing door winches complete a versatile working platform suited to aquaculture, construction, plant transfer and general marine haulage.
