Crew Transfer boat

As key service and engineering provider to the offshore energy industry and holding a wide portfolio of efficient thruster solutions, we ensure safe, efficient operations on crew transfer vessels. Kamewa waterjet solutions offer high speed and efficient performance. Our DP control systems are known as industry-standard and ensure safe passage for workers between vessel and platforms. 

Some of our competitive advantages: 

  • Dynamic Positioning systems that feature “walk to work” functionality for the offshore industry
  • Kamewa waterjets for high-speed performance and reduced vibration and noise
  • Integrated solutions in automation, control, power management and energy storage for lower Opex
  • Experience in high speed watercraft engineering for naval, coast guard and search and rescue operations 

The KONGSBERG Integrated Tug design includes critical systems to secure a a safe working platform for the operators. The Mechanical TUGS, gives the operator a vessel that can operate in a zero emission mode for most of its working time, only activating the main engine for the extra boost needed for the main towing operation.

Integration of our state of the art Propulsion units, Deck Machinery and Control and Safety Systems will reduce a number of cost elements for the TUG:

  • Shipyard will save engineering hours, interface meetings, cabling and installation work, and over all reduce the risk in the project
  • Tug designers will be able to tailor their solutions for specific designs and customer requirements together with KONGSBERG. An integrated solution will free up space and reduce weight. This is valid for winches, electrical systems and control systems at bridge
  • Owner and operators will reduce OPEX regards to efficient operations. A proven life cycle management system for the delivered solution will in the long run save cost and increase visibility for the uptime of your asset.
  • Shipyard, designers, owners and operators will benefit from the unique knowledge and experience Kongsberg possess after more than 30 years within demanding Offshore operations, enabled by Kongsberg contribution throughout the entire process from concept to operation.

The world´s most advanced technology systems are now made available for the demands in the TUG Industry.

CONNECTING WITH THE FUTURE TODAY

Hybrid solutions, Reduced Emission, Maximised Capabilities

By uniting operations, energy and handling solutions, KONGSBERG creates integrated vessel concepts that unlock powerful benefits.

The result is greater efficiency, reduced costs, intelligent asset management and a continual cycle of learning and improvement. Data is shared, understanding is enhanced and better realtime and long-term decisions are made possible, both at sea and on land.

Marine operations is integrated, the future is KONGSBERG.
