Flex-42MX and 42X
Powered by MAN and CAT respectively
With full business class numbered seating, passenger lounge and segregated HVAC between decks
Introducing the Flex-42 Series – a newly designed multi-role executive crewboat that has set new standards in speed and comfort since its official launch in 2018.
Based on a well-proven proprietary design, the Flex-42 Series consistently outperforms in crew change and offshore pax transfers, from Asia to Africa to the Middle East.
For the 2023 model year, Penguin has introduced a new engine choice in its stock vessel lineup – the Flex-42MX, powered by MAN D2862 LE483.
The Flex-42MX is positioned alongside the existing Flex-42X flagship powered by CAT C32 ACERT.
For the 2023 model year, both Flex-42 model types will bring new levels of on-board comfort to offshore passengers.
These include an improved passenger lounge layout, toilet light indicators, an additional passenger shower cubicle, a completely pillar-less passenger saloon, plus many more “beneath the hood” improvements.
The Flex-42X is equipped with: • Active interceptors for optimised ride comfort • 1 remotely operated external FiFi monitor (@ 1200 cbm per hour each or FiFi-½) • Aerosol fire extinguishing system • SOLAS rescue boat with davit • Strategically located CCTV cameras
Additionally, the Flex-42MX and Flex-42X can transport up to 60 tons of deck cargo on a 110-square metre cargo deck, 80,000 litres of fuel and 20,000 litres of fresh water.
Matching operational efficiencies with creature comforts, the Flex-42X features up to 72 to 80 reclinable business class seats with individual USB charging ports, generous legroom in a friendly 2-by-2 seating arrangement, plenty of natural lighting and ample space for customisation.
Crew accommodation features in-cabin windows with natural lighting, a stylish mess and galley, and cosy personal spaces.
The Flex-42X series. A true multi-role vessel designed to execute a variety of missions, including offshore crew change, security and escort, search and rescue, fire fighting and medivac.
The Flex-42X. Speed and Comfort Reimagined.

The World’s Best-Selling Security Boat
Newly upgraded 2025 model out now. Hurry! While stocks last!
Based on Penguin’s well-proven Flex-40 Series crewboat design and powered by three Caterpillar C32 main engines, the Flex Fighter MAX is the oil industry’s standard for armoured security crewboats, with industry-leading speed, comfort and endurance.
THE NEWLY UPGRADED FLEX FIGHTER MAX is fitted with all-round wheelhouse ballistic protection, machine gun mounts with gunner shields forward and aft, plush cabins and amenities for 12 security personnel, heavy-duty/self-cleaning fuel oil purifier, an external fire fighting monitor, as well as reclining seats for 54 pax (versus 42 pax in our 2020 model) and a 93-sqm cargo deck. For our latest model, we have included FuelTrax’s Electronic Fuel Management System as a standard feature. One new and exciting feature of our FLEX FIGHTER MAX is a fully fitted pantry on the main deck for passengers and security personnel.
