Crowley Environmental Services Named Exclusive Distributor For 40-Knot Pollution Control Vessel

High speed and versatility are the key features of a new all-purpose/spill response vessel. A fiberglass and balsa-core workboat, the Raider SRV-1034 measures 34 feet by 10 feet, providing abundant cargo-carrying capacity at speeds up to 40 knots.

The vessel was designed for operation in open seas, and features a shallow-draft hull design for operation close to shore. The Raider SRV-1034 is equipped with a bow ramp which can be lowered while in open water. This facilitates discharge of boom and other pollution-control materials. The ramp is also valuable as a beaching tool for on- and off-loading equipment and supplies, and for personnel movement.

More than 225 square feet of deck space is available for operating skimming and other pollution-control equipment. The Raider SRV-1034 can also be outfitted with accessory equipment such as cranes, winches or tripods to facilitate its use as a fishing boat, crewboat, diving boat or cargo lighter. The 6-foot by 6-foot pilothouse is optional, and can be located anywhere on deck.

The Raider SRV-1034 is part of the Raider Marine Corporation "Beaver" Line of workboats, and was developed in conjunction with Crowley Environmental Services Corporation.

Crowley Environmental Services, with offices throughout the West Coast and Alaska, is the exclusive distributor for the new craft. For further information and viewing, contact the Crowley Environmental Services office nearest you.
