Marine operations company Green Marine Energy Support Services, based in Stromness, Orkney, recently took delivery of a Damen Multi Cat 2712 workboat for its offshore wave and tidal activities.
The Multi Cat 2712 workboat is 27.7 metres long, and has a beam of 12.45 metres.
The boat was christened Green Isle, and has a standard design with several modifications, including a customised mooring system and Green Marine’s own winches, which were installed by Damen and commissioned on board.
The vessel has a speed of 10 knots, complies with the MCA CAT 1 workboat code and has a maximum bollard pull of 34.8 tonnes.
Green Marine will be using the boat primarily for anchor handling, installing wave and tidal energy devices, assisting barge operations, dredger service, supply, towing, hose handling and survey.
The vessel’s first job was laying the moorings for and towing Green Marine’s heavy-lifting barge and the removal of the HS1000 tidal turbine for Andritz Hydro Hammerfest.
