State-of the-art CTVs for U.S. waters
Vessel design, optimised for operation in US waters (Source: Chartwell)
U.S. offshore wind farm support company Atlantic Wind Transfers has placed an order with U.S. shipyard Blount Boats for two crew transfer vessels (CTVs) of 21m length.
The type Chartwell 24 boats have been designed by British-based Chartwell Marine taking end user considerations into account to provide a CTV incorporating advances gained from operation in the European market, but tailored for the U.S. The new vessels will be modified to comply with American environmental regulations and operational conditions. In particular, they will be compliant with legislation protec-ting the migration route of the protected Right Whale off the northeastern U.S. coast, with a specially adapted hull. This hull has been further adapted to handle Atlantic sea conditions.
