France's Glehen Shipyard delivered the multi-purpose workboat Langilea to the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine in the Port of Bayonne.
Langilea has been designed to ensure the maintenance of port infrastructure, buoy maintenance, the lifting of moorings, the transport of equipment, and towing operations.
Compliant with IMO Tier III standards, the 12-tonne bollard pull Langilea is equipped with catalytic reduction systems with urea injection to reduce NOx emissions.
The vessel is fitted with two cranes, a 30 tonne-metre BV-ALM loading crane and a smaller crane for lifting personnel, equipped with a cherry picker.
Its stability is optimised by a freshwater ballast system, allowing the trim and heel to be adjusted according to the operations in progress.
Langilea also has a 10-tonne lifting winch to aid lifting, and four anchoring winches, placed at the four corners of the deck to facilitate the stability of lifting operations.
