The 2004-built DP1 Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel (AHTS) is a versatile offshore support asset engineered for demanding offshore towing, anchor handling, subsea support, offshore logistics, and marine construction operations. Constructed at a European shipyard, the vessel combines dependable propulsion performance, substantial towing capability, efficient cargo carrying arrangements, and robust offshore handling systems, making her highly suitable for long-term offshore support campaigns, rig relocation projects, subsea intervention activities, offshore installation support, and field development operations in both shallow and deepwater environments.
The vessel measures approximately 58.4 m LOA with a beam of approximately 15.0 m and a maximum operational draft of approximately 4.9 m, providing excellent offshore stability, maneuverability, and seakeeping characteristics during offshore operations. With a deadweight capacity of approximately 2,180 MT, gross tonnage of approximately 1,619 GT, and net tonnage of approximately 561 NT, the vessel offers strong offshore logistical support capability while maintaining operational flexibility across a wide range of offshore assignments.
The aft cargo deck provides approximately 440 m² of clear working area with deck cargo capacity of approximately 580 MT, enabling the transport of offshore containers, subsea tooling, pipes, anchors, drilling consumables, project cargo, and offshore construction equipment. The vessel’s deck configuration is designed to support efficient offshore cargo handling and operational workflow during offshore support and marine construction campaigns.
Propulsion is provided through twin medium-speed diesel main engines producing a combined output of approximately 6,598 BHP, driving twin CPP propulsion systems fitted with nozzles for enhanced towing efficiency, maneuverability, and offshore operational performance. The propulsion arrangement is supplemented by a 700 BHP bow thruster, significantly improving low-speed maneuverability, station keeping capability, and close-quarter offshore handling performance during anchor handling and offshore support operations. The vessel maintains a service speed of approximately 13 knots, supporting efficient offshore transit capability between supply bases and offshore work locations. Steering performance is enhanced through a spade/flap rudder arrangement designed to improve directional control under towing and anchor handling load conditions.
The vessel is equipped with a DP1 Dynamic Positioning system allowing controlled station keeping capability during offshore support activities, subsea operations, offshore installation support, and field maintenance campaigns. Additional offshore operational features include a roll reduction tank system which enhances vessel stability and crew comfort during offshore operations in adverse sea conditions.
Electrical power generation is arranged through a dependable onboard power configuration consisting of 2 x 1,000 kW main generators supported by a 260 kW auxiliary generator together with a 77 kW emergency generator, ensuring reliable electrical supply for marine systems, deck machinery, navigation equipment, accommodation services, and offshore operational support requirements.
The vessel is comprehensively outfitted for offshore towing and anchor handling duties through a heavy-duty waterfall double drum anchor handling/towing winch rated at approximately 200 MT. The winch system is configured with wire capacity for approximately 2 x 1,200 m of 64 mm wire and provides an approximate line pull capability of 300 MT, supporting demanding offshore towing and anchor deployment operations. Additional anchor handling and towing equipment includes approximately 250 MT shark jaws, 2 x 160 MT tow pins, a 5 MT tugger winch, and a stern roller measuring approximately 2,500 mm, all designed to support safe and efficient offshore handling operations.
Tank capacities are arranged to support extended offshore operational endurance and include approximately 965.87 m³ fuel oil capacity, 342.38 m³ ballast water capacity, 350 m³ potable water capacity, 180 m³ dry bulk capacity rated at 5.5 bar, and approximately 311.86 m³ liquid mud capacity, enabling the vessel to efficiently support offshore drilling, production, marine logistics, and subsea support operations.
The vessel is additionally fitted with an offshore crane with approximate lifting capacity of 41 MT, supporting offshore cargo handling, subsea deployment work, equipment transfers, and offshore maintenance activities. Firefighting capability is rated at approximately 1,200 m³/hr, enhancing offshore emergency response capability during support operations.
Navigation and communication systems are configured for offshore operational requirements and include an integrated offshore navigation suite with ARPA radar systems, dual GPS arrangement, AIS, autopilot, and GMDSS compliant communications equipment, ensuring safe offshore navigation and operational coordination.
Safety and lifesaving arrangements include 4 x 25-man life rafts together with a fast rescue craft fitted with davit launching arrangement, supporting offshore personnel safety and emergency response compliance.
