Offshore Renewable Energy Vessels

For future large offshore wind farms dedicated vessels will be required. BMT has developed a range of vessel designs to provide the next generation of offshore wind turbine support vessels. These BMT designs offer: superior seakeeping for improved comfort; up to 20% saving in fuel consumption for equivalent vessel payloads; novel hull forms for improved docking performance and minimum weather downtime and; high payload capacity.

These services are provided by our specialist operating company in the UK.
