Manor Renewable Energy (MRE) Ltd, suppliers of temporary power generators, vessels and personnel to the Offshore Renewables Sector, has announced the appointment of Manor Marine UK Limited to construct their new Wind Farm Service Vessel (WFSV).

With a maximum speed of 28 knots, an available tank capacity of 60 tonnes of fuel and fresh water, extensive workable deck space and live onboard accommodation, galley and welfare facilities for up to 12 personnel plus crew, the UK flag vessel has been designed with a view towards the next stage of offshore wind development.

The vessel will be built at the Manor Marine shipyard, in Portland, Dorset and is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2016.

Eric Briar, Director at MRE commented: “The vessel is probably the largest of its class, at an overall length of 26 metres and a beam of 11.2 metres. With a combined aft and forward deck area of 167m2, four point mooring capability, facilities for ROV, survey or dive operations; we aim to offer a very versatile and competent vessel. "

"This is a vessel that will be able to work anywhere in Europe and has the capability to stay offshore on the next generation of wind farm projects for prolonged periods; working with construction or accommodation vessels to minimise the transit time and massively increase the project productivity."

Based in Portland, Dorset on the south coast, MRE support the development, construction and maintenance of wind, wave and tidal projects.
