80 m pilot base vessel.
A working platform that stays at sea for extended periods, launching and recovering craft and housing the people who operate them.
Propulsion
Hybrid with a fully electric mode.
The platform carries a dedicated energy storage system and a fully electric operating mode alongside its conventional propulsion. For a vessel that holds station offshore for long periods, electric operation also reduces noise and vibration in the accommodation while pilots rest between transfers.
