SPONSORS OF SHIP BUILD FEATURE
EXPERIENCE IN THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR In the renewable energy sector Alnmaritec has unrivalled experience and the company has continually developed the designs of its wind farm service vessels to keep ahead of the market’s ever increasing expectations.
UNIQUE HULL Her unique hull form which was developed over six months last year using extensive CFD modelling and towing tank testing offers superb sea keeping characteristics and in describing her performance recently Stuart McNiven Managing Director of Dalby Offshore commented “We are delighted with the delivery of the Dalby Esk, she is performing above expectations and offers a high level of comfort for passengers on extended transit times. The Esk offers potential clients a multi functional solution, with one of the main features been a large open deck capable of carrying a multitude of supplies and equipment coupled with high fuel delivery capacity. Alnmaritec have
incorporated a number of innovative technical
solutions into the vessel’s design and early
indications are that she performs exceptionally well in severe weather. The delivery of the Esk has cemented our excellent working relationship with the Alnmaritec team and we look forward to the announcement of further developments in the near future”.
THE LAUNCH OF OCEAN WIND 5 Alnmaritec also recently successfully launched a new multi purpose offshore windfarm support vessel.
SPECIFICATION ‘Ocean Wind 5’ is a variant of the extremely popular Wave Commander class from Alnmaritec. She measures 16m x 7m and is fitted with twin Scania DI16 engines giving her cruising speeds of over 24.
SPECIFICATION The company is now onto its sixth generation design which has culminated in the new ‘Wave Master’ class. The Dalby Esk measures 20m x 7.2m and she is fitted with twin MTU engines and fixed pitch propellers giving her a top speed of 28.5 knots.
On her large working deck she has the capability to take a 20 ft container and is fitted with a knuckle boom crane, high pressure washers and fuel transfer station. Below deck she has sleeping accommodation for four and in the main saloon she has seating and mess facilities for 12 passengers together with galley, WC, shower and wet areas. In the upper wheelhouse she has a dedicated survey station with facilities for three surveyors as well as the helmsman and crew.
On deck she is fitted with a payload area both fore and aft, a substantial moon pool and internally she has a survey station and comfortable accommodation for both passengers and crew. She has a separate raised wheelhouse area providing excellent all round views from the helm position and the survey station whilst in the main accommodation she has seating for 12, mess area, galley and WC; below decks she has two sleeping cabins.
VERSATILE She is designed with the versatility to allow her to provide offshore support on windfarms during the construction phase (she has a generator refuelling capacity), for survey work, for ROV and dive support as well as for technician and tool transfer during routine operations and
maintenance phases. She is a genuine all rounder and a real brute of a boat as she demonstrated with exceptional sea keeping performance during her trials on the North Sea in January!!
