Neptune Marine contributes to major port expansion project
Neptune Marine supplies charter equipment for innovative pipe drilling project
Neptune Marine, provider of marine equipment, chartered its multi-purpose pontoons NP 289 and NP 461 to Dutch drilling specialist VLCV BV, a joint-venture between C-Ventus and VL Specials. The versatile assets are used for an innovative pipe drilling project near the Dutch coast.
Variety of operations
The EuroTug 3515 is the largest vessel in the EuroTug portfolio of Dutch shipyard Neptune Marine. After an ultra-shallow draft version and a hybrid version last year, the TSM OUESSANT will be the third of its kind to be delivered since 2017.This EuroTug 3515 is a multipurpose DP2 support vessel, which is able to perform a variety of tasks in both offshore and shallow waters, due to its shallow draft of only 1,8 meters. In addition to the shallow draft design, the tug is equipped with a 4-point mooring system and spudleg system for maximum stability.
Moreover, onboard the 250 m2 aft deck a selection of deck equipment is installed to create a truly multi-purpose vessel. Features include a Heila 280 deck crane and a 120 ton meter deck crane, moonpool and a 100 tons AHT winch.
Vessel owner TSM prioritizes the safety and comfort of its personnel and guests onboard the vessel. Therefore the interior has been designed in close cooperation between the owner and a specialized interior designer. As a result the 21-pax accommodation offers a high-end, comfortable and spacious look and feel for everyone onboard.
Cooperation
The TSM OUESSANT will be the second vessel, built by Neptune Marine, in the TSM fleet. In 2018 the EuroTug 3210 TSM Kermor was acquired after it was sold by its former Dutch owner. Based on the experiences with this vessel and close cooperation with Neptune, TSM decided to add the EuroTug 3515 to the fleet.
