VJ Engineering has been appointed as MOBIMAR’s Authorized Representative / agent for Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei, selling and providing services for Vessels, Workboats, Submarines and Yachts.

The innovative Mobimar Wind – Trimarans, developed by Mobimar, feature lower fuel consumption and lower operational costs than most other currently used CTV’s. Most importantly – they provide safer transfers to offshore wind farms, in up to Hs 2.5 meters!

Most offshore windfarms are located where even average wind speeds are high enough to meet power production requirements. At the same time construction expenses are tried to be kept at a minimum by building in rather shallow waters. But as both strong winds and shallow waters generate higher and sharper waves, you need reliable and stable crew transfer vessels. For this reason, Mobimar has developed the innovative trimaran CTV Mobimar 18 Wind.

Windfarm Crew Transfer Vessel CTVs

Mobimar 18 Wind provides safer transfers to offshore wind turbines, made possible by the stable trimaran hull and the unique gripper system in the bow. The vessel is classified to seastate Hs 4.0 and as disembarkation is possible in up to Hs 2.5 meters, you get more operational days and less downtime!

Not only are the operational costs significantly lower than for most other currently used CTV’s due to crew qualification under 750 kW but the fuel consumption is lower as well (linear to the amount of kilowatts). Extra propulsion in the form of two waterjets ensures that the service operation continues even in case of a main engine failure.

The stable trimaran hull and the unique gripper system in the bow are the main reasons why Mobimar Wind -trimarans (Mobimar 18 Wind, Mobimar 23 Wind) are classified to seastate 5 and to seastate 6, with disembarkation possible in up to Hs 2.5 meters. The service personnel can enjoy a smoother transfer and safer disembarkation, and you get more operational days and less downtime.

Smoother Landing:

The 180 degree approaching angle allows choosing the most convenient direction at the wind turbine, according to wind and sea current. Due to the trimaran hull characteristics, the impact on the platform is much smaller than with corresponding CTV’s. The engine can idle during the landing, while the gripper is in either a gripping or sliding mode. This also makes underwater maintenance works at the turbine easier and safer to perform. Due to the trimaran hull characteristics the impact on the platform is much smaller than with corresponding CTV’s. The vessel has seats for 12 passengers.

Mobimar 23 Wind is an exceptionally safe and comfortable transfer vessel for the service crew and their equipment to the offshore wind farms. The vessel hull form is a carefully optimised trimaran. Different load conditions have relatively little influence on the speed. Similarly, the fuel consumption is low allowing smaller fuel tanks and thus better payload. Smaller operation costs even in transit.

Mobimar 23 Wind offers:

• Excellent sea keeping properties – remains stable during transfers in Hs < 7 m
  

  Mobimar 23 Wind Crew Transfer Vessel CTVs

• A unique gripping mechanism for safe embarkation in Hs < 2.5 m
• Bridge with excellent visibility
• Excellent stability for lifting tools and spares
• Spacious crew quarters and cabins for overnight operations
• Steady platform for 12-24 Pax
• Cost-effectiveness: low fuel consumption, low operational costs and a large operating range

The vessel is outfitted with internationally patented Gripper system for easy and safe disembarkation to and from the wind turbine. This system enables in open-sea condions 20-30 % more operational days per year, while allowing technicians and part transfers to the turbine up to 2.5 m Hs.
