In order to start a new modern vessel project, CERES is parting ways with its versatile 14 metre catamaran CERES III
-The CERES III is a fast and powerful catamaran, combining the proven seaworthy qualities of the Southboat design with a high-end finish. The design of the vessel is based on both SB’s research into the needs of the industry and our own practical experience of working in the field and providing services to the maritime and offshore industry.
-The CERES III is committed to the highest safety standards and is fully equipped with the latest safety systems (SART, EPIRB, AIS) as well as the latest life-saving equipment. The vessel was built under the supervision of the Irish Marine Survey.
-The CERES III has been inspected for Veritas and the French authorities by a naval architect and is now almost ready to be registered under the French flag.
