Sora Marine Services has expanded its operations with the addition of a new 24-passenger aluminium crewboat, Sora 22.
The vessel, designed for efficiency and durability, will serve the country’s thriving offshore oil and gas industry, transporting personnel and cargo to platforms across Qatari waters.
Built by Lita Ocean in Singapore and designed by Jenjosh Marine Design, Sora 22 is engineered for performance and reliability. The vessel measures 24 m in length, with a beam of nearly 3 metres and a breadth of 6 metres, offering both agility and stability in challenging marine conditions. Constructed to Bureau Veritas standards, the lightweight aluminium hull ensures optimal speed and fuel efficiency vital for offshore logistics.
Powered by two Yanmar 6AYM-WET(M) four-stroke diesel engines, each delivering 610 kW at 1,900 rpm, Sora 22 achieves a maximum speed of 18 knots and cruises comfortably at 16 knots. The propulsion system, featuring twin screw propellers driven through marine gearing, ensures dependable performance for daily offshore operations.
