With a capacity to accommodate up to 30 passengers, on some of our vessels offer individual comfort that minimise travel fatigue and stress caused by vessel motion.
Comfort and Safety
Passenger comfort is a top priority on our Crew Transfer Vessels. Each vessel is equipped with facilities, including kitchens, entertainment systems, and berths for extended operations. These amenities ensure that technicians and other personnel arrive at the work site in optimal condition, ready to undertake their tasks.
Versatile Cargo Capabilities
In addition to transporting personnel, our Crew Transfer Vessels are capable of carrying amounts of cargo, such as components and equipment necessary for the installation and servicing of turbines. With accessible foredeck space and load capacities ranging from 1 to 100 tons, our vessels are equipped with deck cranes for efficient cargo handling.
Advanced Transfer Methods
Safety during transfers is paramount. Our Crew Transfer Vessel employ the ‘bump and jump’ method, where the vessel pushes bow-first onto the turbine’s j-tubes, allowing personnel to step onto the access ladder securely. For higher sea states, we offer ‘walk to work’ systems that use heave-compensating bridging mechanisms, enabling personnel to transfer safely in more challenging conditions.
