Project Management

Case Study: First Ferries Prefab Project
As an example, Sea Speed supplied three kit hulls to Wang Tak Engineering and Shipyard in Hong Kong. Three 40-metre containers containing all pre-fabricated hull components for the 28 Metre Catamaran hulls were provided along with detailed design. Our staff assisted with frame erection and provided on-site training and support during hull construction. The vessels were completed in China and delivered to Hong Kong for operation.
