Development:

During 16 years in the offshore wind market we have developed our FOB SWATH submersible vessels. SWATH: Small Waterline Area Twin Hull. Our aim is to have the best vessels and the best human factor. Crew and company provides safety, responsibility, experience, flexibility, 24-hour service, approved with DOC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, Achilles, Environmental Policies, & GDPR regulations

FOB SWATH IN CAT MODE:

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

FOB SWATH IN SWATH MODE:

In submerged position the movements are considerable reduced, which allows the vessels to operate in rough weather, and stay safe and comfortable in the site for extended periods.

IMPROVED BOW FENDER (Video):

The bow fender with our special patented side forces used on the access systems, improves safety, allows the vessels to work in 2- meter significant wave heights and centres vessel's bow into correct position. Our system has been tested and used on our vessels with great success since 2016 in the Irish Sea, North Sea and Baltic Sea.

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Our latest vessel - Fob Swath 8's fuel consumption: 20 knots 350 l/h, 25 knots 450 l/h and 30 knots 620 l/h
2. Fob Swath 8's max speed is 36 knots. If one propulsion unit falls out, she continues with 30 knots and may continue her charter until a planned docking or replaced by a substitute vessel
3. The speed of our 32 m. vessels is about the double of our 25 m. vessels. With same sailing distance, the 32 m. use about half the time as the 25 m., and accordingly the fuel consumption is about the same for both vessels
4. With the 4 protected water-jets, the vibrations whilst staying against the "landings" and damages during sailing are minimized
5. Manoeuvring from 1/3 forward to 1/3 aft within 1 second. Bow-thrusters and water jets gives 7-ton side trust. All assists with safe "landings" and extra utilization days
6. Acceleration in accordance with the International Code for 2000 High Speed Craft, vertical acceleration under 1G, lowest sea sickness index - 0.75 to 1.25, comfortable seating and sound level under 60 decibels
7. Some of our vessels have the dynamic position (DP) system
8. Extra bunker capacity allows the vessels to stay offshore for longer periods. They can all refill generator sets
9. Free deck area, from 30 to 80 m.2
10. Our vessels are all for 24 passengers, and some can be arranged for 56 passengers in a matter of hours
11. Some of our vessels can be arranged as an accommodation vessel for 12 passengers
12. Crane for loading and discharging
13. From Cat mode to SWATH (submersed) mode takes about 2.5 minutes and same for returning to Cat mode
14. During repair and maintenance, another Fob Swath vessel may substitute
15. Marine Evacuation System (MES) with slides
16. The special rescue net allows to save persons from the sea with one deck man
17. Vessel's hydraulic gangway operates safe and simple
18. All crew members have single cabins with WC and shower, and stays on board all time
19. In stock with considerable spare parts and complete engines and gears
20. Classed by DNV GL and approved by Danish Maritime Authority
