Acta Marine has taken delivery from Ulstein Verft of a new walk-to-work vessel called Acta Centaurus.
Acta Centaurus has a 1000-square-metre cargo area, with a container skidding system and space for 24 containers.
It also has a helideck, an SMST motion compensated gangway and integrated elevator tower to provide safe and stepless transfers of people and cargo in wave heights of up to three metres.
SMST also provided a 3D motion compensated knuckle boom crane which can handle six-tonne cargo in sea conditions up to Hs 2.5 metres.
The vessel can accommodate up 120 people, and also includes office and work spaces.
Acta Marine managing director Rob Boer said: “Building on experience with our first Ulstein walk-to-work construction support vessel Acta Auriga delivered to us last year, we are highly confident that Acta Centaurus will be very well suited to operate in the offshore, and specifically the renewable market.
“We will now get ready to bring her out to the offshore wind farm to commence work.”
Ulstein Verft managing director Kristian Sætre said: “We know how important it is to get a vessel completed on time. This has been achieved through good cooperation between Acta Marine and Ulstein on all levels.
“We feel certain that the Acta Centaurus will be a good work platform for the owner and their clients.”
