The all-new 2015 model of Tuco Marines ProZero series, the ProZero 10.5m WBW Archipelago workboat is sea trialled in Faaborg these days. The vessel is a fast and light multipurpose workboat that features a hydraulic bow gate and a deck crane for handling cargo over the vessels side. Constructed from the flexible and unique ProZero construction the vessel is built with a flexible hung cabin to ensure the best possible comfort in the wheelhouse.
The Vessel is to enter service in Bergen, Norway, for the local Archipelago services and has been sold through the Norwegian company, Provide Maritime, Florø, Norway.
The delivered vessel is as many of the ProZero vessels in Tuco Marines ProZero range, equipped with a flexible hung cabin, which is mounted on rubber shocks, to secure optimal sound dampening, and crew comfort inside the cabin. Two suspended seats, a passenger sofa, and a toilet ensures the very best traveling experience for the crew and passengers. On the aft deck of the vessel, a large heated locker is mounted, serving as a dry locker for the crew’s clothes and tools.
The light workboat is equipped with a Volvo Penta D9 inboard diesel engine and it is capable of doing more than 25 knots when transporting crew and passengers to or from the archipelago islands, which will be the boat’s main area of use.
On the foredeck the boat features a crane in starboard side, and in port side a line/trap hauler, and a side door for easy access to shore and water. The boat is further equipped with radio, radar, AIS and a VHF installation for optimal communication.
