O&M VESSELS
FEATURE SPONSOR
2016 is proving to be a big year for Iceni Marine Services.
With two new crew transfer vessels on order, Iceni have just relocated to new, much larger premises in Lowestoft.
Situated within sight of the Orbis Energy hub, the new building provides space for extensive spares ranges for all of Iceni’s current eight vessel fleet, as well as offices and fully equipped training rooms.
REASSURANCE AND CONVENIENCE
As Richard Thurlow explains: “Having a range of essential spares on hand for each vessel provides that extra level of reassurance and convenience for our crews - whilst the location and increased space have also made a massive difference. With two new 23m CTV’s being delivered in early 2017 it was essential that we made the move now.”
NEW VESSELS
The new vessels are both South Boats IOW 23m, developed following an extensive hull form research and development programme, ensuring that the vessels can operate in the harshest environments and deliver technicians fit and able to fulfil their tasks offshore. Both vessels will be powered by twin MAN V12-1400 main engines – Iceni Defender will be fitted with Hamilton HM651 water jet units whilst Iceni Legend will feature Servogear HD295 reduction ‘V’ drive gearboxes driving a Servogear Ecoflow Propulsor system with 1225mm CPP propellers.
The vessels will have resiliently mounted superstructures ensuring low noise and vibration levels for twelve personnel whilst passaging to and from site, together with forward and aft cargo decks capable of carrying 15 tonnes of equipment.
MAKING WAVES EXISTING VESSELS
Existing 23m vessels, in service with Iceni Marine Services, have proven exceptional, with class leading sea keeping and transfer capabilities. In January this year, one of Iceni’s existing 23m CTV’s registered safe transfers in 2.2m HSig with a passage speed of over 27kts in the same condition.
CONFIDENT FUTURE
“We are constantly striving to punch above our weight – so Iceni Defender launching in January ’17 and Iceni Legend, launching later next Spring, together with our new premises and spares centre will give us one of the most technically advanced and versatile CTV fleets currently in operation in the UK.” Concluded Richard.
