Australia-listed company Austal has delivered a high speed crew transfer vessel to Swire Pacific Offshore.

The 57.6-metre catamaran was built at Austal’s shipyard in the Philippines and is the fourth offshore crew transfer vessel delivered by the company in the past 15 months.

The vessel, which has been named the Pacific Kestrel, is capable of transporting up to 90 personnel, plus cargo, in Sea State 6 conditions, which is defined as very rough seas with waves from four-to-six metres in height.
