Offshore Supply
The brief, and how we answered it
Delacroix runs supply missions where minutes cost money and weather closes fast. The mandate was reach and payload without giving up the speed to make a round trip inside a shrinking window.
Four engines on a long, lean aluminum hull deliver a fast loaded cruise, while a flush, reinforced aft deck carries containers, tubulars, and pallets. Below, comfortable berthing lets the boat stage crew offshore for multi-day rotations.
Redundant propulsion and a well-equipped engine room mean a single failure never strands the boat or its passengers — the kind of resilience that turns a supply vessel into a safety asset.
Closing weather windows
Supply runs had to beat fast-moving fronts. A boat without the loaded speed to make the round trip left platforms short and crews stranded.
Deck space versus range trade-off
Delacroix kept choosing between payload and reach. The brief demanded both — a big deck and the legs to run far offshore.
