Latest OXE vessel launched

Posted on by nickyyeoman

The UK’s latest OXE power vessel has been launched and commissioned

 

This vessel offers transportation services to Orford Ness located in Suffolk. Currently, people must take a ferry from Orford Quay to reach the Ness. However, the ferry can be challenging for those with mobility issues due to the steep and slippery steps. The newly built landing craft will enable step-free access to the Ness, making it possible for wheelchair users, families with buggies, and others who cannot use steps to visit.

The landing craft is designed to transport a vehicle and a trailer weighing up to 4 tons or 12 passengers per crossing. It will be coded to MCA category 3 and features a pair of OXE 150Hp diesel outboards and internal fuel tanks. The wheelhouse can accommodate a helm and two crew members, and a bow thruster is installed to assist in the strong current that can flow on the Alde-Ore Estuary.
