With the demand for more efficient solutions for aging wind farms, NR Marine Services<\/a><\/strong> NR Marine Services has taken a strategic step by commissioning Chartwell Marine to design a new class of crew transfer vessel (CTV)<\/strong>. Named the Defiant Class, this model seeks to address traditional turbine access needs using updated technology, state-of-the-art materials and adaptable propulsion systems. <\/p>\n\n

Defiant Class features<\/h2>\n\n

In recent years, the CTV sector has CTV<\/a><\/strong> industry has focused on large, HS-OSC-compliant vessels, neglecting the construction of smaller units. The Defiant answers that gap, as it is a 20-meter CTV with a flush bow, step-free access and an optimized interior design that includes separate toilets, galley and modular options for shelving and seating<\/strong>. It complies with Edition 3 of the Workboat Code and IMO Tier 3 emissions requirements. <\/p>\n\n

The Defiant Class is designed to adapt to varying conditions of coastal projects<\/a><\/strong>. It can integrate either a Quad IPS system or a Hamilton Waterjet Hamilton Waterjet<\/a><\/strong>This allows it to operate in shallow water without compromising power-to-weight ratio or mechanical reliability<\/strong>. This flexibility is essential in an environment where site requirements change considerably. <\/p>\n\n

Technical collaboration for older turbines and efficiency<\/h2>\n\n

The project is the result of a technical collaboration between Chartwell Marine, NR Marine Services and Diverse Marine. Chartwell’s Andy Page noted that the new model combines experience in hull design<\/a><\/strong> with a configuration that reduces costs without losing performance. For his part, Richard Thurlow of NR Marine mentioned that the Defiant responds to an internal fleet analysis that reveals a concrete opportunity to replace 10 to 15 year old vessels<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

With the market increasingly focused on operational efficiency and sustainability, the Defiant Class CTV represents a pragmatic and up-to-date solution. Designed in the UK, it seeks to leverage the strengths of the local supply chain and position itself as a viable alternative for projects requiring access to older turbines without compromising comfort or functionality. <\/p>\n\n
