WORKBOATS
New build vessel progresses well
Manor Renewable Energy (MRE) are on track to take delivery of their new 26m windfarm service vessel later this year. The vessel has received a great deal of interest with a large area of deck and over 50t of fuel/water capacity. This teamed with large ship style accommodation and 12 modern berths in 6 above deck is focused on providing an offshore ‘project base’ for diving, survey, temporary power campaigns, yet still remain extremely competent in day to day personnel transfer duties.

IDENTIFYING NEED
“We identified a need for this type of vessel after finding few vessels with the ability to house personnel on board for more than one or two nights and after following the success of the MO1 and MO2, we felt this design allowed us to build as big as we could at this time, yet still remain a very flexible vessel – more little ship than big boat” said Eric Briar, MRE Director.
FINALISATION
Working together with MRE and builders Manor Marine have been suppliers KPM, who have been engaged to help complete the design and supply the fit out. This has allowed the internal layout to be finalised and optimised to utilise every inch of available space and provide top quality accommodation for crew and clients alike.
Eric concluded; “We believe we have taken this type of vessel to the next level – later this year we’ll see if the industry agrees.”
