Strategic Marine Delivers Second Hybrid FCB “Centus Alesha”

Strategic Marine, a global shipbuilder, has successfully delivered Centus Alesha, the second hybrid Fast Crew Boat (FCB) to Centus Marine, marking another milestone in their partnership to pioneer cleaner offshore energy support vessels. Following the debut of Malaysia’s first hybrid FCB, this delivery underscores both companies’ leadership in sustainable maritime innovation.

The delivery of Centus Alesha builds on the success of the first hybrid FCB delivered in 2024 and demonstrates Centus Marine’s continued commitment to growing a greener fleet and improving efficiency in the offshore energy sector.

The vessel designed in collaboration with Centus Marine, has been specifically designed to improve efficiency and sustainability in offshore operations, offering significant advantages in crew transfer to oil platforms. Its hybrid propulsion system reduces fuel consumption, resulting in lower emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. The VEEM gyro-stabilization enhances stability, ensuring safer and more efficient operations, particularly in challenging offshore environments.

Mr. Chan Eng Yew, CEO of Strategic Marine, commented: “The delivery of Centus Alesha reflects our strong and ongoing relationship with Centus Marine. We are proud to contribute another vessel that aligns with our shared mission of leading sustainable innovation in offshore transport.”

Mr. Derick Soo of Centus Marine added: “Centus Alesha represents another big step forward in our decarbonisation efforts. We are excited to expand our hybrid fleet and raise the bar for operational and environmental excellence in the region.”
