Pictures and vessel information
The VARD 3 310 is designed and equipped for supply and service to offshore installations and for carrying and unloading deck cargo and liquid cargo such as mud, drill water, fresh water and fuel.
The CSS M98 is a larger version of the successful 84 m CSS design. This larger unit is designed to provide enhanced accommodation and recreational facilities, an increased deck cargo capacity and increased crane operational capacity. Some
key features of the design are:
Due to the hull design and DP-3 arrangement, the M98 is able to remain connected to a platform through a large range of environmental conditions without having to disconnect due to excessive motions.
The Fit For Purpose CSS is a multi-functional well-intervention, supply and light construction vessel. The primary features of the vessel are:
The Compact Semi-Submersible (CSS) concept has been developed by STX Marine, in partnership with Hallin Marine to capture the capabilities and low-motion behaviour of a semi-submersible vessel in the smallest form feasible, giving an industry-leading design in terms of operability. The CSS Derwent’s primary functios will be well-intervention, well-stimulation, and subsea installations. The Derwent brings the superior seakeeping and operability of the CSS design to the light well intervention and subsea service roles. Design features include:
The Accommodation Support Vessel’s primary function is to act as a floating accommodation unit for rig personnel. The vessel with remain connected to the rig via a telescopic gangway and is capable of accommodating up to 431 people. Other features include:
The John G. Diefenbaker ‘Polar Icebreaker’ is the flagship vessel for the Canadian Coast Guard and will serve a multitude of missions in the Arctic. Some of those missions include maintaining sovereignty and presence; arctic science, weather and ice monitoring; economic and commercial development; national security; northern re-supply and logistics support; search and rescue, environmental and emergency response; fisheries conservation and protection.
The VARD 9 203 is an Antarctic vessel designed for the Chilean Navy to perform multiple missions operating in the Antarctic Polar Circle. The missions include logistics support, search and rescue, and scientific research vessel.
The VARD 9 109 is an Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel that exhibits exemplary sea keeping and maneuverability capabilities consistent with conducting multi-purpose oceanographic science missions. The OOSV has seven integrated science laboratories and an extensive list of equipment including:
HMS ‘Echo’ and HMS ‘Enterprise’ are two multi-role hydrographic survey ships commissioned by the Royal Navy. They form the Echo class of survey vessels. They were built by Appledore Shipbuilders in Devon in 2002.
Echo and Enterprise are the first Royal Navy ships to be fitted with azimuth thrusters. Both azimuth thrusters and bow thruster can be controlled through the Integrated Navigation System by a joystick providing high maneuverability.
These ships are designed to conduct survey operations in support of submarines or amphibious operations. They can provide almost real-time tailored environmental information, and also have a secondary role as Mine Countermeasure Tasking Authority platforms, for which they are capable of embarking a dedicated Mine Counter Measures command team.
The VARD 7 510 LST is a landing ship and logistics vessel designed for the projection and support of forces, amphibious operations and landing, support of maritime special ops, patrol of EEZs, and humanitarian assistance.
The vessel is fitted with combination watertight bow and stern ramps providing access to an internal RoRo compartment. Vehicles are loaded at the pier via the stern ramp and the bow ramp facilitates landing vehicles on shore.
