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 approached to design and construct a double deck Passenger Ferry capable of carrying the maximum number of paying passengers between Monkey Bay and Mlowe on Lake Malawi within their stringent budget.
The vessel had to be fabricated in a knock-down format for ease of transport and assembly on site at Chipoka.
Fuel efficiency and range was critical due to the distances of travel between the proposed refuelling points. Vessel to be fitted with full navigation suite, comprising of a VHF Radio, GPS, Echo Sounder, Navigation lights, compass and safety equipment for open water and night operations.
Passenger had to be protected from adverse weather by fitting roll-up drop-sides and a roof.
We had to provide a 220 volt power supply for Fridge, Freezer and lighting.
The required a stereo sound system.
The lack of berthing facilities on the shore required the vessel to be able to beach for passenger embarkation. The vessel was to be able to operate in depths of 0,5 metres of water.
Cruising speed between 10 -15 knots, depending on sea conditions.
Additionally a small rugged tender boat was required to transport crew from ship to shore, when the vessel was on anchor.
