Successful delivery of Brazilian fast supply vessel
Incat Crowther is pleased to announce the launch and successful trials of Baru Mucura, the second in a series of twelve UT4000 Monohull Fast Supply Vessels built by ETP Engenharia in Brazil. Its earlier successor, Baru Gorgona, was the first delivery in the series.
The vessel’s design has been optimised to comply with the UT4000 Fast Supply Vessel specification. Ships fuel is in excess of 40,000l, with a cargo fuel load of 90,000l. There is also capacity for 90,000l of cargo fresh water.
The vessel is dominated by an expansive aft deck of 225m2 of usable area, planked with hardwood and protected by sturdy cargo rails.
An additional 30m2 of cargo area is provided inside the main deck cabin, allowing for the carriage of items out of the elements, such as food and other supplies. Also housed in the main deck cabin are wet room and laundry facilities.
The upper deck wheelhouse includes an aft facing control station allowing for safe and efficient maneuvering.
Below decks are six cabins accommodating eleven crew, as well as a mess, galley and bathrooms.
Baru Mucura is powered by a quartet of Cummins QSK 50 main engines, each rated at 1800hp @ 1800rpm. Propulsion is by way of fixed-pitched propellers, whilst two 150hp electric tunnel bow thrusters will enhance maneuverability. The vessel has a service speed in excess of 21 knots.
Incat Crowther’s extensive experience in the offshore supply field has led to the development of class-leading vessels that are rugged, efficient and profitable.
