With HEAVYLIFT@SEA being a dedicated ship design office and SeaRenergy as a full service provider to the offshore industry, the new vessel benefits from best practice from both ship design and offshore experience.

The vessel was developed in accordance with state of the art ship design focusing on minimisation of losses during operation but still with a cost efficient propulsion arrangement (ERN 99,99,99,95) with low fuel consumption and maintenance cost. The shape of the vessel is designed to reduce motions and increase comfort for technicians in order to mitigate risk of sea sickness and weather downtime, especially in the harsh conditions of the North Sea. It accommodates up to 60 persons in comfortable single cabins, embedded in a true passenger ship class vessel including two day rooms, auditorium and a fitness room.

The vessel focusses on efficiency in O&M and is therefore able to stay on location for several weeks offering more working time and less time in transit. The configuration enables an efficient flow of people and spare parts around the vessel. The motion compensated gangway, which is accessible directly from the elevator grants direct access to wind turbines and offshore platforms in significant wave heights of up to 2.5 m, arranged for workability at water levels of +/- 4.0 m around MSL. With the cargo transfer system, a barrier-free handling of spare parts and components of is possible up to 300 kg without using a crane.

Moreover, the vessel is equipped with a daughter craft in its own hangar at the stern. The daughter craft shall be utilised as a second way of access to the boat landing of offshore structures. The hangar increases the safety of operation, especially in rough weather conditions.

Dr. Benjamin Vordemfelde, Managing Director of SeaRenergy says, “SOVs are an attractive market segment with an excellent perspective offering stable growth and attractive charters. Therefore we see the market entry into the SOV segment as the logical next step to develop our company further and also meet the growing demand for this new vessel class.“
