DELTA 10.0m Marine Access Craft Shell's new Marine Access Craft, MAC-1, was recently completed by Delta Power Services and is capable of 34 knots. This impressive craft is the first of a new type of daughter craft developed jointly between Delta, Shell UK Exploration and Production and Boston Puffords to enable marine access to Shell's award winning new genera- tion of 'Trident' platforms operating in the UK sector of the Southern North Sea gas fields. This craft, which is MCA Workboat Cat 2 approved and has a 10nm Load Line Exemption, facilitates access for technicians to these Normally Unmanned Installation's which do not feature helicopter access. Without such a craft these smaller gas and oil reserves, which these innovative platforms serve, would not be commercially viable with a conventional platform. The craft is operated by a crew of three and capable of transporting up to four technicians in comfort with suspension seating, galley and cooking facilities. Propulsion is provided by twin 130hp outboards and the craft is launched from a Standby Ship via a twin Mills launch and recovery sys- tem. Delta Power Services has nearly two decades of experience in the design and manufacture of such specialised craft, in particular for the offshore industry. All of this experience is fed back into the design stage to ensure craft exceed their design brief providing effective, reliable and robust fast seaworthy commercial craft of the highest quality. Prerequi- sites that any commercial operator will be able to identify with and which ensure that Delta stay at the forefront of Rigid Inflatable and Buoyant Fendered craft design and production.
