Our Modcat 1200 SD Cargo platform, is a standard build concluded for the following application profile, which is based on an actual build. It is not regarded as exhaustive and is provided as a means of providing prospective clients with a practical case study to work from. We were approached to design and construct an Off Port Limits supply solution requiring the maximum available deck space for cargo transportation and general workboat contracts in Walvis Bay, Namibia. The client had a very limited budget but already had most of their OEM equipment requirements on site and was well established in the area. The vessel needed to be capable to carry up to 9 tons of cargo in various sea states on each OPL trip. The vessels primary operational objective was to transport fresh water and supplies to vessels laying in the anchorage and to transfer and transport garbage back to shore. Additional functions required was the potential of using the vessel as a work platform for civil work and mooring laying etc... The client wanted a standard platform that they could fit-out and reduce all applicable manufacturing, labour and associated delivery and registration costs. We were able to supply an existing Modcat 1200 design from stock which was in the budget range proposed and provide the following solution to our client. The client did his own assembly, fit out and mounting of motors on site and had safety certification and licensing done in Namibia.
