Irelands First Windfarm Service Vessel Launches with Marine Air Flow Equipment

Based in Dublin, Farra Marine have had a successful launch of their first windfarm service vessel, the Farra Orla built by Singapore's Penguin Shipyard.


Marine Air Flow are very proud to have been the major supplier of all engine room equipment on the Farra Orla and looks forward to the next project with Penguin for this forward thinking Dublin based company.


As the Farra Orla operates in sometimes less than ideal conditions, it is vital that she has an engine room ventilation system that aids in not only optimal operating conditions for the vessel but also for the safety of the crew.


The Farra Orla project includes the following equipment:

  • Double stage intake grilles (mist eliminator grilles)
  • High volume AC fans capable of maintaining the correct pressure and change out of air,
  • Survey rated A60 Stainless steel air dampers,
  • Custom ductwork &
  • An Air-On-Demand system to run the fans as needed.


Congratulations to Farra Marine - a company who we admire as much for their products as for their commitment to a clean safe future, and also to Penguin Shipyard for yet another beautifully delivered project.
