Trinity Offshore was given the honour to receive the Harvey Gulf International Marine contract in Gulfport, Mississippi, last week, to build two 92 meter (302ft) Dual Fuel Offshore Supply Yachts powered exclusively with natural gas. The inaugural U.S. flagged LNG-powered yachts will be the first one in USA to have ENVIRO+, Green Passport Certification by the American Bureau of Shipping. These two 92m Trinity yachts will be the most eco-friendly yachts of this size. The project will need 300 employees for the next 30 months and is a very important step for Trinity Offshore’s re-entry into the Deep Water Support Vessel sector.
The requirements for ENVIRO+, Green Passport dictate that the yachts be continuously manned by a certified Environmental Officer. More, the yachts will be completely constructed with certified environmental materials including advanced alarms for fuel tanks and containment systems.
The implications of the Harvey Gulf contract for Trinity Yachts custom builds are numerous. By engineering technologies for natural gas powered vessels, incorporating specific design features—LNG, diesel electric, steerable z-pellers, fire fighting and more—Trinity is the first custom builder to be able to transfer this level of environmental technology to the world’s superyacht fleet.
With an abundance of the greener alternative, less-polluting natural gas, Trinity also sets its sights on realizing what the superyachting market has been requesting: the engineering and construction of a green fleet. Owners, captains and the industry will have, at long last, a green blueprint for the blue planet.
