New workboat delivered to Jifmar Offshore Services’ Scottish subsidiary

Netherlands-based Neptune Marine has delivered a new multi-purpose workboat to the Scottish subsidiary of French vessel operator Jifmar Offshore Services.

Jif Mairi has a length of 24 metres, a beam of nine metres, and a draught of approximately two metres.

The BV-classed newbuild will be managed by North West Marine. Its duties will include anchor handling, dredging support, surveys, resupply, research support, general towing, and personnel and cargo transport.

Jif Mairi is specially optimised to be more suited to North West Marine’s fish farm support activities. Custom features include wooden removable bow doors, a starboard side ladder, and D fendering on the starboard side.
