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.
We 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.
We are excited to welcome another vessel to our growing family of over 55 BMT designed windfarm support vessels worldwide.
We have been awarded a crucial contract to design two advanced Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) for the expanding U.S. offshore wind industry. The vessels will be deployed to service Ørsted’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project.
BMT’s latest 27m crew transfer vessel , has successfully completed sea trials.
BMT has signed an agreement with Singapore-based Strategic Marine, forging a powerful collaboration aimed at driving the offshore wind crew vessel industry towards a more sustainable future.
BMT is proud to announce the successful delivery of two 20m Fast Crew Transfer Vessels (FCTVs) designed for servicing Turkish Petroleum’s - Offshore Technology Center.
We are pleased to announce that our latest 27m CTV hybrid vessel design showcasing our patented BMT Active Fender System® and hybrid propulsion system has been selected by HST Marine for the European offshore wind industry.
To meet the industry’s growing demand for lower carbon emissions, capacity, and prolonged offshore operations, BMT is introducing its new 32m Crew Transfer Vessel design to what is already an extensive range of designs.
