WORKBOATS


CONSTRUCTION WORK BASE


Having transferred the teams of technicians to various wind turbines, Eden Rose remains on site, serving as the work base and remaining in radio contact with each team throughout the shift. Some will return on board for lunchtime refreshment, and Eden Rose will finally return them to port at the end of the working day.


SPECIFICATIONS ON TIDAL TRANSIT VESSELS These vessels greatly exceed the current fleet being used for the same purpose in the UK. The vessels’ MCA Cat 1 coding and 10,000 litre fuel tanks allow them to work up to 150 miles offshore, well within the range of the UK’s forthcoming Round 3 offshore wind farms.


PASSENGER COMFORT Each vessel provides four crew members and twelve passengers with comfortable beds, bathrooms, galley, internet access and entertainment facilities, allowing wind farm engineers and support technicians to live and work offshore for up to several days at a time.


Being of rugged GRP construction enables them to operate in rough seas – a major advantage when working in the North Sea. Twin V12 MAN engines facilitate speeds of up to 27 knots when carrying twelve passengers, the crew, and their on-board cargo.


CARGO DECKS


Massive cargo decks fore and aft can accommodate up to 10,000kg of tools, equipment and spares, and the Guerra crane on the fore deck has a lifting capacity of 1,025kg at 6.9m, which caters for long reach loading and unloading. Cranes can also be deployed for camera surveys and grab sampling.
