Our unique vessel design, combined with use of composite components and sophisticated control systems offer unrivaled speed, superior fuel efficiency, excellent seakeeping and passenger comfort.
For over 25 years, Umoe Mandal has been delivering world-class navy vessels based on Surface Effect Ship (SES) and air-cushion catamaran technologies. Proven track record of our expertise in designing and building these unique craft in lightweight non-corrosive composite materials has set the ground-work for expanding these technologies to a new generation of Crew Transfer Vessels serving renewable energy, Oil & Gas and defense industries.
Air-cushion principle
Slender catamaran hull design combined with robust, yet lightweight composite hull material offers high-speed capabilities and reduced vessel motions, resulting in excellent seakeeping capabilities and exceptional passenger comfort.
Motion control systems
Our unique vertical motion damping system consists of two fully-automatic sub-modes: Boarding Control System (BCS ™) and Ride Control System (RCS). The two modes are easily switched between on the operator interface touchscreen according to required operating mode, either Transit or Boarding.
Composite materials
We specialize in the design and manufacture of components in all-composite materials. These deliver high-strength, very low structural weight vessels.
