Leveraging on our experience as an owner-operator of large Fast Supply Intervention Vessels since 1997, we have developed a fit-for-purpose DP1 FSIV dubbed the Flex-50.
With a length overall of 50 metres, the Flex-50 base model can carry up to 75 passengers in business class seats and 200 tons of deck cargo on a 200 square metre clear deck area.
