Trident Aqua Services Expands Fleet with New Service Vessel at Sletta Verft

Trident Aqua Services has announced the contract of a new 20-metre service vessel from Sletta Verft, further enhancing its fleet capabilities. This new addition highlights the company’s commitment to evolving its vessel concepts, which have proven successful in previous operations.

Continuing a Successful Concept

The new vessel represents the fourth in a series that Trident Aqua Services has developed substantial experience with through earlier builds. Designed by Solstrand Trading, the vessel will undertake a comprehensive range of tasks, including service, transport, and towing operations. Equipped with an optimized hull design, electric propulsion technology, and a 1,500 kWh battery pack, it promises both operational flexibility and enhanced energy efficiency, boasting a deck cargo capacity of 100 tonnes and a bollard pull of 15 tonnes.

Strengthening Operational Performance

Arild Aasmyr, CEO of Trident Aqua Services, remarked, “For us, this is about more than just a new vessel. It is about continuing to build on solutions we know work well in practice. When we find a concept that delivers the right capacity and strong operational performance, it is natural for us to develop it further. This approach generates value for both us and our customers.”

Building a Trustworthy Partnership

This project marks the 18th vessel built by Trident Aqua Services at Sletta Verft, following in the design lineage of vessels such as Multi Storfjord, Multi Challenger, and Multi Frontier. This contract demonstrates the company’s strategic vision for long-term fleet development, aligning operational needs and standardization.

Looking Towards the Future

“We will continue to invest in modern vessels that enhance our delivery capabilities,” Aasmyr stated. “This new build exemplifies our ongoing commitment to evolve the company, focusing on solutions we believe in.”

A Lasting Collaboration

The partnership with Sletta Verft has been built on years of trust and successful deliveries. Kåre Sletta of Sletta Verft emphasized the importance of their ongoing collaboration, stating, “We are delighted that Trident Aqua Services has once again chosen to build with us. Building several vessels in the same series allows us to refine our solutions and enhance our teamwork, resulting in better processes and high-quality vessels.”

Additionally, Trident Aqua Services benefits from strong partnerships with reputable suppliers, including Solstrand Trading for design and Frydenbø Elmarin for battery and electrical installations, all contributing to high standards.
