All Coast Christens New Class 250 Liftboat "Great White"

LAFITTE, La., Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- All Coast, LLC, the largest liftboat operator in the Gulf of Mexico, christened its new Class 250 Liftboat, the Great White, on August 20 at C and M Marina in Lafitte, La. Christening sponsor was Erin Allemand. The ceremony was attended by guests from the industry, media and local government, as well as company employees and management.

The Great White is a 250-foot leg liftboat with state-of-the-art design, comfortable accommodations, and modern features, such as a beautiful combination conference room and movie theatre.

The liftboat was designed and built by SEMCO, a well known and highly regarded liftboat builder. It is equipped with two 175-ton leg mounted cranes and a large open deck to assist in carrying equipment and supplies in support of various offshore activities. The vessel can accommodate 50 people, including private rooms dedicated for customer representatives.

"SEMCO's name is synonymous with quality construction of the safest, most reliable liftboats and we are proud to announce that the Great White is unparalleled to any other 250 class currently serving our market," said John Nesser, All Coast Co-CEO and Manager.

The Great White's self-elevating and self-propelled liftboat design operates in a maximum working depth of 185' of water. It features nearly 9,000 sq. ft. of deck space for cargo storage with a maximum deckload capacity of 800,000 lbs. to accommodate heavier equipment loads.

All Coast's newest vessel is one of the few 250+ class liftboats operating in the Gulf of Mexico market. All Coast is the only provider with a fleet of liftboats ranging in size from the 105 class to the 250 class.

"The Great White is emblematic of our investment in our customer's experience and overall satisfaction," said John Powers, Co-CEO and Manager of All Coast. "With this new addition, no other fleet in the Gulf can match our ability to cost effectively meet the specific needs of our customers by having vessels in nearly every class."
