Introducing Seacat Columbia

After a break of 110 days, Seawork is back. One of the highlights of the show, is aways the vessels on the pontoons. This year was no exception with the arrival of one of the most radical reconfigurations of a CTV ever seen - Seacat Columbia.

Seacat Columbia moves away from the commonly used catamaran configuration, to a sleek mono-hull with out-rigger for stability. The vessel is powered by water jets, and is set up to be super optimised providing high performance but without the fuel burn.

The vessel was designed by Chartwell Marine, with BARTechnology, and built by Diverse Marine. She is owned and operated by Seacat Services. For this episode, we were joined by the team which brought Columbia to Southampton for the show.
