Acta Auriga

A CSV/SOV for construction support and W2W service operations. Efficient and safe in significant wave-heights up to 3m. Equipped with a telescopic motion compensated gangway system mounted on an integrated tower with height adjustment and a personnel/cargo lift. 3D motion compensated crane with 6t lifting capacity.

Ship history

The vessel has been designed as a construction support vessel (CSV) and can also work as a Service Operation Vessel (SOV). The vessel can take on assignments in commissioning and construction in the offshore wind farm installation phase, and provide Walk-to-Work transfer of personnel and cargo. The vessel can also service other offshore areas such as oil and gas. Acta Auriga has been arranged for up to 120 persons on board (POB), accommodated in 80 cabins. Designed for offshore stays of approximately 30 days. Tower, crane and gangway are SMST deliveries.
