Kanoo Shipping today announced the launch of the first of its new series of fast crew supply boats, Kanoo 40, at Fujairah. With the addition of the new boats, the company has now expanded its fleet to ten. The new Kanoo 40 series will offer customers a larger capacity to carry passengers and cargo quickly, comfortably and safely, while also offering them optimised costs and efficiency.
“We are happy to launch our new series of Kanoo 40 boats in the region. We are confident that these new craft will bring new capabilities into the market and that the speed and comfort of these boats will be recognised and welcomed by all our principals and charterers,” said Fawzi Kanoo, the chairman of Kanoo Shipping.
The Kanoo 40 series will operate in the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea region. The Kanoo 40 has a capacity to carry 35 passengers plus ship stores, ship spares, ship provisions, repair equipment and lube oils to ships that are being serviced at Fujairah/ Khorfakhan anchorage or offshore oil terminals in other countries. The new vessels will also accommodate people and equipment in support of other offshore services such as underwater pipeline repairs, ship maintenance, hydrographic surveys and cable laying.
