We design for superior seakeeping and improved comfort, up to 20% saving in fuel consumption for equivalent vessel payloads, novel hull forms for improved docking performance, minimum weather downtime and high payload capacity.
CTVs are explicitly designed to transport service teams to offshore wind farms. They have become more prominent, more robust to service wind farms further offshore and are usually fitted with bow fendering explicitly suited to wind turbines.
All our CTVs are designed to be efficient and work effectively in various offshore environments. Advanced hull forms such as our XSS (eXtreme Semi-Swath) provide that capacity along with improved seakeeping and operability. Our larger offshore fast crew boats also deliver class-leading fuel efficiency for the oil and gas market.
We’re continually increasing the range of available sizes of our proven CTV designs from 18 metres to over 30 metres. New, longer vessels meet the industry’s growing demand for capacity and prolonged offshore operations.
OSVs can be divided into several types according to operations they perform: seismic survey ships, platform supply vessels (PSV), anchor handling tugs, anchor handling tug and supply vessels (AHTS), offshore construction vessels (OCV), ROV support vessels, dive support vessels, stand-by vessels, inspection, maintenance and repair vessels (IMR) and variety of combinations of these.
Our platform supply vessels are designed for servicing offshore drilling rigs and production platforms with the necessary equipment, stores and drilling consumables.
OSVs may have additional cabins, mess room facilities, and offices to accommodate the support crews comfortably.
Beyond hull design, we aim to improve operability through Turbine Access and Active Fender Systems. These significantly help reduce the potential for impact damage to either the vessel or turbine structure and enhance the safety of the technician transfer. We consistently strive to refine our vessel designs and have an extensive research and development program for all vessel types.
Designing for a new era in offshore operations, the BMT 48m SOV delivers safety, comfort and efficiency while minimising environmental impact. Building on our proven expertise in windfarm support vessel design the 48m SOV offers: - Improved seakeeping - Reduced environmental impact - Enhanced comfort - Increased productivity - Facilitates autonomous technology - Optimising operations
Select for more informationWe have an ever-expanding range of proven vessel designs in our portfolio, including vessels ranging from 9m to 220m in length and speeds of up to 70 knots.
