Delivery of a diving and ROV support vessel
"Gulmar Atlantis"
These latest generation diving/ROV support vessels each have an 18-man, 300m-rated diving system with twin diving bells and twin 18-man self-propelled hyperbaric lifeboats. They are equipped with a 140t AHC crane with 2,500m hook depth capacity with 70t hook load and a 40t crane with 600m hook depth and have, a large free deck space and built-in gas storage. Additional state-of-the-art capabilities as per Gulmar include Fi-Fi II, high specification offices, cabins & workshops as well as an extensive IT network.
These vessels are to keep the group's position in the subsea construction, inspection, repair and maintenance markets and will complement Gulmar’s existing fleet of four DSV and accommodation vessels.
The arrival of the ‘Gulmar Atlantis’ comes shortly after an investment by Oaktree Capital Management to take a controlling interest in the company. In addition to the strengthening of Gulmar’s financial position, the investment has brought with it initiatives to strengthen Gulmar’s management and technical capabilities to provide the platform to meet customer’s expectations and for future expansion of the business.
