A new phase has been completed in the construction of the offshore support vessel “SeaDragon”, after the keel laying ceremony was held on May 13, 2025 at the CRIST shipyard, located in Gdynia, Poland.
SeaDragon’s breakthrough vessel and technology for demanding conditions
The “SeaDragon” is designed to support the structural development of the NB110 project. The vessel will integrate technologies such as the Walk2Work system, which enables the safe transfer of personnel between the vessel and offshore platforms, as well as DP3 dynamic positioning, which ensures stability and precision during offshore operations.
This project is promoted by the Norwegian shipowner DOF, a company specialized in marine services for the oil and gas industry. Moreover, the design has been developed by the naval engineering office MMC Ship Design & Marine Consulting, in collaboration with StoGda Ship Design and Engineering, which oversees part of the construction process.
In general, the unit is built under the supervision of the American Bureau of Shipping. American Bureau of Shipping(ABS), ensuring compliance with stringent safety and efficiency standards. In addition, the SeaDragon will maintain an FSV (Field Support Vessel) design, which means that it will be prepared for logistic activities, maneuvering assistance and technical support in offshore projects.
This ceremonial event gives continuity to the process initiated in January 2025, when the cutting of the first plate took place at CRIST’s facilities. Since then, the project has evolved with firm steps, integrating advanced technology and the integral experience of multiple actors in the naval sector.
