Prioritising safety and innovation at sea

STB12 and STB15

Project details

In collaboration with Esvagt, we designed the STB 12 and STB 15 vessels, prioritising safety at sea. Both vessels can be lifted and deployed from a larger mother vessel when needed. The STB 12 accommodates up to 12 Industrial personnel and boasts higher speed capabilities. The STB 15 is tailored for the wind turbine market, accommodating up to 15 personnel and featuring cutting-edge technological advancements for comfort and stability. 


Equipped with interchangeable front fenders, both vessels effortlessly approach various boat landings. Our innovative design ensures technicians' safety during lifting, minimising risks associated with transfers to floating vessels. With safety, comfort, and efficiency in mind, the STB 12 and STB 15 vessels represent innovation and excellence in the maritime industry, serving the needs of offshore operations and the wind turbine market.

Our approach

Both the STB 12 and STB 15 prioritise crew and technician safety with advanced features, including state-of-the-art navigation, emergency equipment, and robust hulls for challenging sea conditions.

 

Equipped with Volvo Penta Tier III engines and a top-tier Volvo IPS maneuvering system, the STB 15 combines power, precision, and fuel efficiency. It also features a built-in Seakeeper Gyro stabiliser, which enhances comfort and expands the weather limits for safely transferring technicians to wind turbines. Additionally, for safety, it features the GUS system by Pict Offshore, ensuring secure transfers for wind turbine technicians and meets the High-Speed Code damage stability criteria, enhancing its safety.

 

Efficiency is key for both vessels, with the STB 12's swift deployment optimising productivity, and the STB 15 efficiently transporting technicians to wind farms. Both vessels are designed to Bureau Veritas (BV) comfort class notation, to achieve excellent comfort under transit, minimising fatigue on the technicians.
