Featured solutions

The vessel has been designed as a construction support vessel (CSV) and can also work as a Service Operation Vessel (SOV). The vessel can take on assignments in commissioning and construction in the offshore wind farm installation phase, and provide Walk-to-Work transfer of personnel and cargo. The vessel can also service other offshore areas such as oil and gas. Acta Auriga has been arranged for up to 120 persons on board (POB), accommodated in 80 cabins. Designed for offshore stays of approximately 30 days. Tower, crane and gangway are SMST deliveries.

2021, 07 April: Completion of the BARD Offshore 1, O&M assignment. Read more on Acta Marine's web:

Acta Auriga successfully completed the Bard Offshore project (actamarine.com), and below:

The project has been intense especially considering the fact that Auriga has replaced two maintenance vessels that were initially performing the O&M scope on the project, as can also be seen from the following project statistics:

• 9,300 gangway connections

• 44,600 persons transferred

• 43,600 cargo pieces lifted

• 2,500x around the globe in distance sailed

• 230,000 meals served

• Zero LTI

Acta Auriga will, after a short maintenance stop at Niestern Sanders, continue to work in offshore wind in the UK as construction support vessel.
