Strategic Marine, a leading global shipbuilder, has successfully delivered the TMS Tah Muang, a 42-metre Generation 4 Fast Crew Boat (FCB), to Truth Maritime Services (TMS), a subsidiary of Prima Marine Group. This marks the fourth vessel delivered to TMS since 2024, following the TMS Ranod, TMS Raman, and TMS Chana, reinforcing the strong partnership between the two companies.
Purpose-built to meet the operational needs of offshore energy clients in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, TMS Tah Muang is equipped with advanced capabilities to ensure safe, efficient crew transfers and support services in challenging offshore environments.
TMS continues to play a critical role in the region’s offshore petroleum sector, operating a growing fleet that now includes 18 crew boats and two 300-passenger accommodation barges. The addition of TMS Tah Muang further enhances its ability to support exploration, production, and maintenance operations with greater efficiency and reliability.
Mr. Chan Eng Yew, CEO of Strategic Marine, shared: “We are pleased to deliver TMS Tah Muang to our valued partner Truth Maritime Services. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to providing dependable, high-performance vessels that contribute meaningfully to our clients’ operational success. We sincerely thank TMS and Prima Marine Group for their trust and continued partnership.”
Designed in collaboration with Southerly Designs recently and the vessel comes with a highly efficient new hull form and Z-bow which improves seakeeping and requires less power for the same speed and deadweight tonnage, reducing fuel consumption and lowering emissions whilst providing class leading cargo and passenger carrying capability.
The vessels feature a newly optimised passenger layout allowing the capacity to transfer up to 100 offshore workers in business-class comfort. Fitted with a Veem gyro-stabiliser adding further stability for safe and smooth transfers even in adverse weather conditions.
Strategic Marine looks forward to supporting TMS in their ongoing growth and is committed to delivering vessels that meet the evolving demands of the offshore energy sector.
