During the last 17 years in the offshore wind market, we have developed our FOB SWATH semi-submersible vessels. SWATH: Small Waterline Area Twin Hull. Our aim is to have the best personel and vessels. We provides safety, responsibility, experience, flexibility, 24-hour service, approved by DOC, ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, Achilles, Environmental Policies and GDPR regulations.

FOB SWATH VESSELS IN CAT MODE:

The lower hulls are narrow and sharp and cuts through the waves at high speed. The pitch, roll and slamming are reduced due to the great distance from seawater to water deck, and with the four foils and interceptors.

FOB SWATH VESSELS IN SWATH MODE:

In semi-submerged position the movements are considerable reduced, which allows the vessels to operate safe and comfortable for longer periods in rough sea.

IMPROVED BOW FENDER (Video):

The vessels special patented bow fender with removable clams used on the outside of the docking poles, enable the vessel's bow to be pushed sideways, hold the vessels safe in the correct position, and allows our vessels to work in 2 m. significant wave heights. These improvements have been used with great success on our vessels since 2016. Our bow fender reduces the forces against the docking pole(s) and vessels bow.

HIGHLIGHTS: 

1. The fuel consumption for FS 8, 9 and 10: 20 knots 375 l/h, 25 knots 475 l/h, 27 knots 675 l/h. Max speed for FS 8 = 30 knots and FS 9 & 10 = 35 knots and if one propulsion unit falls out she continues with 25 knots
2. The increased speed of our vessels with a length of 32.5 m., save time compared with our 25 m. vessels. Both vessels sailing the same distance, use about the same fuel consumption
3. With the protected waterjets, the vibrations whilst staying against the "landings" and damages during sailing is minimized
4. Manoeuvring from 1/3 forward to 1/3 aft within one second, the extra side trust and improved fender allows safe "landings" and extra utilization days
5. Acceleration in accordance with the High-Speed Code 2000, vertical acceleration under 1 G, lowest sea sickness index - 0.75 to 1.25, comfortable seatings and sound level under 60 decibels
6. All of our 32.5 m. vessels have the DP system, used among others while receiving and delivering fuel
7. Extra bunker capacity allows the vessels to stay offshore for longer periods
8. Free deck area, from 30 to 80 m.2
9. Our vessels carries 24 to 55 "IP" (Industrial Personnel). We may offer a combined vessel(s) for 24 IP, having accommodation for 12 IP plus day sailing for 12 IP
10. All crew members and IP with accommodation, have single cabins with WC and shower 
11. From Cat mode to semi-submersed mode and vice versa, takes about 3 minutes
12. During repair and maintenance, another Fob Swath vessel may substitute
13. Marine Evacuation System (MES) with slides
14. The special rescue net allows to save persons from the sea with one deckman on main deck
15. The vessel's hydraulic gangway and the cargo-cran, both operate safe and simple
16. In stock with considerable spare parts and complete engines and gears
17. All vessels are Classed by DNV GL and approved by Danish Maritime Authority
