Overview

Changing operational profiles for offshore wind projects as they move further from shore, combined with growing industry awareness of the fundamental metrics that govern safe, fuel-efficient vessel operation, are driving evolution in vessel design. This evolution has been seen both in new designs such as the multi-hull BARTech 30, but also in incremental refinements to reliable platforms such as the Chartwell 24 catamaran to target specific project scopes.

Technicians transit to wind turbines in up to 2m high seas and they must arrive fit for work. If any of these “non pro” sailors are seasick then all passengers (up to 24) must return to port immediately. These abortive trips cost the OEMs large amounts of money so superior seakeeping is an essential part of the vessel’s key requirements.
