Tuco Marine Group will supply its 11m ProZero Wind Farm Service Vessel daughter crafts to the two Ulstein X-stern vessels ordered by the German based Bernhard Schulte affiliate WINDEA Offshore GmbH.
The daughter crafts, to be delivered in Q2 and Q3 2016, is from the newly developed ProZero series. The hull design is based on the hull from Tuco’s Guard Series which was developed since 2002.
The ProZero 11m Wind Farm Service Vessel is a fast Daughter Craft, designed to be an optimal tool for transfer of personnel to and off, offshore installations.
“In the design process it was important for us to create a transfer vessel optimized for the demands of a SOV daughter craft in the offshore wind industry, meeting the high demands for safe transfers and comfortable travel” says Jonas Pedersen, Director of Tuco Marine Group.
“This boat is designed for safe launch and recovery and can be optimized for both single point hoisting or to access a stern garage on a mothership. Further to improving comfort efforts has been made to reach a high level of redundancy to keep the vessel able to work as a stand-alone unit being able to transfer also to and from shore,” added Pedersen.
