By investing in effective and proactive anti-piracy protection measures, we are continuously working to ensure that we reduce the risk of falling victim to piracy as much as possible.
Propelled by
Innovation
The Dockwise Vanguard, is the largest and most innovative semisubmersible vessel ever built. This new addition to the Dockwise fleet is redefining the limits of heavy marine transport. Most remarkable of all, the ship lacks a bow, which virtually maximizes cargo space. This game changing bowless design invites oil and gas majors, amongst others, to rethink offshore floating units design opportunities which were once considered impossible. The vessel has been designed by Dockwise for the next generation of exceptional heavy marine transport. Additionally, the vessel’s technical innovation surfaces a completely new offshore service: offshore FPSO dry-docking. The Dockwise Vanguard allows for heavy marine transport of large FPSO, SEMI, TLP and Integrated Offshore structures up to a weight of 110,000 MT resulting in improved schedule flexibility, risk mitigation and interface optimization. These are key business drivers in considering exceptionally large dry-transportation solutions over traditional wet tow.
OFFSHORE DRY-DOCKING With the significant presence of FPSOs in remote areas often lacking support infrastructure, offshore dry-docking services becomes increasingly interesting. The vessel’s dry-docking capabilities enable inspection, maintenance and repair service opportunities, amongst others. As a unique feature of offshore drydocking service, the FPSO remains connected to its mooring and turret system while keeping the flow risers connected. The FPSO, when resting on the Dockwise Vanguard’s deck, is still capable to freely weathervane around the turret mooring.
