The award recognizes outstanding commercial vessels, not only for their design and ship-building excellence, but for what they represent, such as critical maritime sector service and expansion into new markets like space support.
The 280-class Voyager, designed and built by Conrad Shipyard, is Guice Offshore’s largest and most capable multi-purpose vessel, and equipped to tackle projects in almost any water depth or location.
