Advantages

The "Wind Crew 1" was designed to operate in the rough waters of Norway. The monohull design proves onself by its soft and continuous movements in the sea. This increases the transfer comfort of passengers against catamarans whose movements in the sea are subject to faster changes of direction.

The Main Saloon of "Wind Crew 1" is located in the midships area of the hull and is thus perfectly arranged in the center of gravity of the vessel. This arrangement minimizes the acceleration forces that act on passengers during transfers on sea and thus ensures a comfortable stay during the transfer on board.

Our Vessel Wind Crew 1

The "Wind Crew 1" has a spacious saloon divided in two areas with tables, a total of 22 seats and 3 additional benches in the forward hull and lobby area. This provides more than enough space for the transport of 12 passengers.

For survey operations a survey room is located directly behind the wheelhouse. It is equipped with monitor slots, sockets, a cable routing to the outside as well as a data interface to the onboard Furuno SC-70 Satellite Compass system which delivers precise position and motion data suitable for hydrographic survey.

Historical

The "WindCrew 1" was once built as a ferry for fast passenger transport in the Norwegian fjords. In its previous use as a ferry the vessel was equipped with seats for 68 people. Old newspaper reports exposing that the vessel was already popular with passengers back then. The dismantling of the seat capacities to currently about 30 seats gave a lot of space to improve the comfort of transfer and it released new storage space as well.
