Tuco Marine Group has released the design of a new 10-metre wind farm service vessel.
The 10-metre vessel can be lifted on and off larger mother vessels using a single point davit system and it can be outfitted with hook systems of the owner's choice.
When designing the vessel for a single point hoisting, Tuco Marine directly targeted far offshore farms in deep waters. These farms are situated so far offshore that daily travel to and from the shore is not possible and technicians are therefore accommodated on larger mother vessels (SOVs) or on accommodation platforms. This requires stable daughter crafts that are capable of transporting personnel from the accommodation units to and from the turbines.
The vessel offers a spacious foredeck and a purpose-built docking and fender system for easy access to the offshore windmills.
The vessel features a twin waterjet installation fitted to inboard diesel engines, and operates at a service speed above 22 knots, transporting four to six passengers or 500 kilograms of cargo.
