Crew Transfer Vessel
Vessel for the transfer of personnel and spare parts to offshore wind turbines.
Crew transfer vessels (CTV) are mainly used to transport offshore personnel and smaller cargo units. The fender system at the bow helps the vessel to approach the access ladder of a wind turbine or an accommodation vessel and facilitates safe boarding of personnel. Typically, today’s crew transfer vessels are designed to transport 12 people; larger units can transfer 24 people and more. In addition to traditional mono-hull designs, catamarans, trimarans and vessels termed SWATHs (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) are deployed in the offshore market. Depending on the specific design, a CTV achieves a speed of between 20 and 30 knots (approx. 50 km/h). Small to medium-sized deck cranes, as

The ST-class vessels are innovative and highly-flexible units for the widest possible range of project cargo. Loading and unloading of cargo can be handled in three completely different ways. Two heavy lift cranes can move cargo weighing up to 700 tons in tandem. In addition the ships have adjustable stern ramps and hatch covers which can be adapted to differing quay heights in ports and so permit the loading or unloading of individual cargo up to 3,200 tons in weight in the classic RoRo manner. Finally the
