Yno 226 - Western Legend

The vessel is designed by Ulstein International AS in close cooperation with Western Geophysical, and is executed by Ulstein Verft AS as yard no. 226. The UT 743 design is developed in accordance with the demanding requirements for silent operation at high capacity rements for silent operation at high capacity production. The vessel features a compact and efficient layout, providing a comprehensive arrangement of mechanical and electronic seismic outfitting, and a highly flexible, redundant and powerful propulsion and machinery package.

The vessel is built to Det norske Veritas Class + 1A!, ICE-C, E0, HELDK, and to international rules and regulations as applicable for the subject type of vessel. Further the vessel satisfies IMO Res. A.468 (XII) as a general maximum noise level, with additional reduction of noise level in laboratories and related reduction areas. Special consideration has been taken from design stage and throug out the building program in order to minimise hydroacoustic noise generated by the vessel.
