Following the success of its recent CTV’s (Crew Transfer Vessel) fleet, WMD and NR Marine Services announce the development of the new Cyclone Class CTV. The new Cyclone Class CTV builds upon the proven performance of the Storm & Typhoon Class CTVs, further enhancing onboard accommodation and welfare facilities to deliver unmatched comfort and functionality for offshore wind operations.
NR Marine’s Storm Class vessels have been designed by WMD and built at Isle of Wight shipyard, Diverse Marine. The Cyclone Class reinforces NR Marine’s commitment to UK shipbuilding and design
With an extended 29-metre hull, the Cyclone Class allows for increased internal volume, accommodating up to 6 cabins and 24 passengers.
Key design features include:
- Length: 29 metres
- Deck cargo capacity: 30 tonnes
- Propulsion: 4 x Volvo Penta IPS1050
- Maximum speed: 28 knots
Owen Nutt, Director at NR Marine says “Working with WMD on the new Cyclone range was a no-brainer. Their previous designs have exceeded expectations, and we’re excited to welcome this new vessel into our fleet.”
Nikki Walker, Project Manager at WMD comments “We’ve really enjoyed seeing NR Marine grow since the delivery of their first WMD-designed vessel. Being trusted to help them develop a new class of vessel is a huge compliment, and we look forward to seeing the Cyclone Class take shape and enter operation.”
WMD will be exhibiting at Seawork on Stand G19 from 10–12 June 2025 in Southampton. NR Marine will be showcasing their new vessel, NR HUNTER, at Berth VB22 alongside Diverse Marine.
