EXPERIENCE:

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 and Environmental Policies. 

FOB SWATH IN CAT MODE:

The lower hulls are narrow and sharp, and cuts through the waves (wave-piercing). The pitch, roll and slamming are reduced due to the great distance from water level to upper 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, stay safe and comfortable at the site for extended periods.

IMPROVED BOW FENDER (Video):

The bow fender with our special patented side forces used on the access systems increase safety, allows the vessels to work in 2 m. Hs, and centres the vessel's bow to 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 new Fob Swath 8 has fuel consumption at 20 knots with 350 liters/hour and at 30 knots 620 liters/hour
2. Fob Swath 8's speed is 35 knots with 90 % power. If one propulsion unit falls out, she continues with 30 knots
3. With the 4 protected waterjets the vibrations while staying against the "landings" and damages during sailing are minimized
4. Manoeuvre 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
5. Acceleration in accordance with 2000 HSC - Code, vertical acceleration under 1G, lowest sea sickness index - 0.75 to 1.25, comfortable seating and sound level under 60 decibels
6. Some of our vessels have the DP system
7. Extra bunker capacity allows the vessels to stay offshore for longer periods. They can all refill generator sets
8. Free deck area, from 30 to 75 m.2
