A multi-hulled sea-borne vessel includes a main deck 10 on which there is means for the transfer of goods loaded on to one end of the vessel to the other end of the vessel and an upper deck which includes a wheelhouse 11 beneath which the goods pass during transfer thereof from one end of the vessel to the other. The vessel may be a catamaran with an engine room and fuel storage facilities in each hull. The means for the transfer of goods may include a pair of parallel rails (15 and 16, Fig 3) that extend from fore to aft of the catamaran. The upper deck may further include a galley 12 behind the wheelhouse and steps 13 and 14 may be provided on either side of the catamaran for movement of crew between the main and upper decks. A method of using the vessel to transport supplies to an off-shore windfarm is also disclosed. |
