2608 Stantug built in 2005, she has a bollard pull of 51

Ashanti and available

I would like to
personally wish all our friends and customers a very Happy

All the very best...
Mike Conafray2007 was our busiest year on record. The Marineco Toomai
finally joined the fleet and is now on charter in Dubai
whilst the Marineco India was shipped mid year to Kakinada,
India where she will be joined in mid Feb. 2008 by the
Marineco Rakshaa.
Our latest "new build" the Marineco Hathi is due to be
launched mid March and upon completion of sea trials will
commence her first charter in Liverpool, UK. We have also
added the Marineco Oanawee, an 11mtr 40 knot rigid
inflatable fast rescue/passenger carrying vessel to our
fleet.
Our latest multicat type purchase, the Marineco Sheer Khan
is currently in Grimsby being lengthened where upon
completion she will become an 18x6 multicat type and the
Marineco Rakshaa has also just undergone a main engine
overhaul and installation of new generators.
2007 saw us dispose of number of vessels to make way for new
ones. Amongst these were the the Marineco Baloo which was
sold to S A T O S in Spain whilst the Marineco Tabriki was
sold to a customer in Africa, We also sold our crane barge
Steifbeen to a UK construction company and so would like to
take this opportunity to wish all of the new owners good
luck wth their new vessels.
2007 also saw a number of our staff pass their Masters
tickets and we aim to continue with with our aggressive
training plan throughout 2008 when we hope to announce more
new Captains throughout the year.

Following the
success of the latest addition to the Marineco fleet, the
Marineco Toomai, we're delighted today to announce a further
agreement with Damen shipyards for the delivery of a new
Multicat, the Marineco Hathi.
The vessel is a
Damen multicat type 2409 with the following dimensions:
Length 24.00 beam 9.00 draft of 2.4 mtrs aft. The vessel
will have accommodation for a total of 6 crew, a projected
bollard pull of 24 tonnes and is due for delivery in
February 2008. More details will follow shortly…
June 2007
The majority of our
vessels are now working throughout the world and so Marineco
is now truly a global player! The Marineco Toomai is en
route to Dubai whilst the Marineco India is en route to
India. The Marineco Baloo is currently working in Spain and
the Marineco Tabriki is in Tunisia. Even the Marineco
Rakshaa is on charter in Holland. When we started the
business only 11 years ago we could never have envisaged our
vessels would be scattered so far across the world in such a
short time. Whilst we may have strayed from our roots we
recognise that our success is very much the result of
support from our loyal customers in the UK and Europe and so
we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for
your continued support and business.

We're delighted to report that Damen continue to make
excellent progress on The Toomai and delivery remains

requested to the standard vessel specification. These are
extensive and incorporate feedback from both ourselves and

are taking place as part of the custom fit.
Accommodation is provided for 8 persons in five cabins with
the Captain and Chief Engineer both having single cabins
whilst all of the accommodation will have natural light
throughout. The bridge will have a "Captain remote control
system" to enable the Captain to pilot the vessel from any
part of the bridge. In addition we have also
incorporated a fly bridge to the vessel which offers the
Captain far greater visibility and enhanced handling of the
vessel. The vessel will be fitted with a larger hydraulic
system than previous models which will enhance the
