Delivered to a Liberia-based operator for crew transfer and port support duties along the West African coast, this 12-metre HDPE vessel demonstrates the versatility and low-maintenance advantages of high-density polyethylene construction in demanding tropical and salt-water environments. The monolithic HDPE hull requires no painting, resists corrosion and impact damage, and significantly reduces lifecycle maintenance costs compared to conventional steel or aluminum alternatives — a decisive advantage for operators in remote port locations with limited maintenance infrastructure. Outboard propulsion keeps the mechanical footprint minimal and maximises usable deck space, while delivering speeds of up to 30 knots for fast crew rotations between vessel and shore. The spacious cabin accommodates up to 12 passengers alongside 2 professional crew, with an open aft deck suited to cargo handling and boarding operations. LOYD’s HDPE construction expertise, developed across more than two decades of deliveries to operators in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, ensures that each hull meets the structural demands of open-water service while remaining light enough for efficient port handling and slipway recovery.
