Project typeLongTerm
Project abstractIcarus Marine (Pty) Ltd, a South African company specialised in designing and providing technology for specialised vessels is searching for Finnish and European partners for building boats in Finland for the Finnish/EU market.
Project description
The company, established in South Africa is based in Cape Town and currently employs 6 persons.
The company designs and provides technology for boats and Icarus Marine would supply the design and technical data package to a partner shipyard in Finland for construction. In particular the partnership will focus on hydrofoil supported catamaran vessels in aluminium and/or composite materials. These are specialized vessels witch offer a number of advantages over conventional vessels:
- Up to 40% high speed
- 30% fuel savings
- Better crew comfort
- Low wake wash (wave energy and wave height)
This type of vessel is currently not used in Finland and in very limited numbers in the EU and there is an opportunity to introduce them for defence, security and commercial applications. The design will be worked out according to the requirements of one of the International Classification Society standards (e.g. BV, DNV-GL, Lloyds etc.) and according to Finnish Maritime Administration Requirements. It will therefore meet the normal standards applied in Finland for such vessels.
The customers so far have been shipyards and boat builders and the company has done projects in many parts of the world including Europe (e.g. Norway and the Netherlands).
The company is currently looking for a partner to build boats in Finland for the Finnish/EU market using designs and technology from Icarus Marine in South Africa.
