Purus Chinook

The Commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) is of VARD 4 19 design, developed by Vard Design in Ålesund, Norway. Together with Purus the design is upgraded, and tailor made to give environmental benefits with a hull design optimized for low fuel consumption and resistance, as well as high operability and comfort.

The CSOV is a highly versatile platform for all wind support operations, focusing on onboard logistics, comfort, large storage capacities and superior operability. With a state-of-the-art hull form tailored for all weather conditions and an optimized propulsion system, this vessel promises reduced fuel consumption, outstanding sea-keeping, and top-tier station-keeping performance.

The battery hybrid system prepares the vessels to run with zero emission for periods. The design is also prepared for future operation on methanol, providing an additional sustainable option to the operation. 

She is equipped with SEAONICS’ Electric Controlled Motion Compensated (ECMC) crane, securing efficient handling operations for a sustainable future. This system allows for always keeping the load close to the crane tip from the deck level to the TP platform. The new and innovative crane ensures quick and safe cargo transfer. The stepless walk-to-work-system is able to work with stepless access in a range from 15 to 30 meters above sea and is suitable for both personnel and cargo transfer.
