The vessel will feature SMST provided mission equipment - motion compensated gangway and 3D crane. The installation of the helideck was completed on 17th February 2019.

“The main topside equipment, including tower, gangway and crane, has been installed and tested previously, the helideck was the final equipment installation to take place,” says Marcus de Greef, who is Project Manager for Acta Marine.

Marcus continues: “Commissioning of ships system such as main engines, propulsion system, bridge manoeuvring system together with completion of the interior in accommodation will be given focus the next weeks. Inclining test and yard sea trial are the largest remaining milestones.”

The vessel is named after the constellation Centaurus which is one of the largest constellations in the sky. It represents the centaur, the half man, half horse creature in Greek mythology.

The vessel will accommodate up to 120 persons and will be equipped with a hybrid battery package to aid fuel consumption. In addition, she will also be equipped with a helideck.

Upon delivery the ACTA CENTAURUS will join ACTA AURIGA and ACTA ORION, as a dedicated walk-to-work vessel support offshore logistics and accommodation on offshore wind farms.
