A New Boat for Subsea Works from Alumarine Shipyard

Published Apr 14, 2015 1:36 PM by The Maritime Executive

The Alumarine Shipyard has just completed the construction of a new workboat under 12 meters, designed for diving operations, subsea works and material transport. All technical trials have been validated. The boat will leave the shipyard in the next few days to operate on the new coastal highway project on Reunion Island.

This is the second model of this range which confirms, once again, great performance and excellent stability. A first model adapted to the transport of heavy material and equipped with hydrojets was already delivered to a professional of the Building and Construction sector.

The boat hull shape has been designed to ensure both a very high stability, high load capacity and high speed. The large deck area is 30 m² with a high deck loading capacity from 7.5 to 11 tons depending on the type of crane.

Especially adapted to subsea works, the deck is equipped with a 4 t/m crane, diving bottles compartments, a 160 kg lifting system at the rear, side seats and a protection awning for divers. A technical area on deck is dedicated to the hydraulic group and diving equipment. The boat also offers a towing capacity of 1.5 t.

This model is available in two propulsion versions: with hydrojets or traditional shafts.
