A Small Water-plane Area Twin Hull, better known by the acronym SWATH, is a twin-hull ship design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. Minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea, where wave energy is located, maximizes a vessel's stability (lowers sea sickness), even in high seas and at high speeds.

The bulk of the displacement necessary to keep the ship afloat is located beneath the waves, where it is less affected by wave action. Wave excitation drops exponentially as depth increases, so wave action normally does not affect a submerged submarine at all.

Placing the majority of a ship's displacement under the waves is similar in concept to creating a ship that rides atop twin submarines.

For those seeking a vessel that combines cutting-edge design, unmatched stability, and the power of Allison 501KF turbines, the 1999 Eastern Ship Building Swath 120 stands as an extraordinary option. Whether for private ownership, commercial use, or specialized expeditions, this SWATH catamaran is ready to redefine your maritime experience. Contact us today for a private viewing and take the helm of this exceptional vessel that stands at the intersection of innovation and power.

Accommodation

This 120’ x 40’ Aluminum SWATH crew boat was built in 1999 for Trico Marine to quickly shuttle as many as 250 passengers to offshore platforms.

The vessel only worked five years after being built before being stacked. MV cost over $22-m to build and would cost $30-m to duplicate today. MV is US Flag and was USCG certified, and ABS classed when it was in service.
