Legend has it that Thor, the mythological god of thunder and lightning, guided men and ships through hazardous weather and perilous seas.

Today, the spirit of Thor is reborn, forged in a revolutionary new vessel designed and built by Service Marine Industries.

THOR (Twin Hull Ocean Runner) is based on the SWATH concept and has been flawlessly designed and extensively tested to meet the expanded missions required by deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

It's safer, faster, more fuel efficient, and has a deck cargo area and liquid cargo capabilities far superior to any vessel now sailing. And, it's designed to safely operate in sea conditions exceeding Sea

State 5—conditions that keep conventional vessels in port.

We'd like to tell you more about THOR, and its applications for Supply, Crew

Transport, Deep Ocean Surveillance,

Diving Support, Geophysical Exploration, and Hydrographic vessels.
