The vessel will be equipped with dual-fuel engines capable of running on methanol or MGO. It will also feature integrated methanol tanks and battery energy storage systems.

Designed to accommodate up to 60 people, the OSV will support a range of offshore operations, including subsea inspections, cable trenching and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) activities.

C-Job and Glomar have jointly developed the concept, working on the vessel’s general arrangement, exhaust system and integration of alternative-fuel technologies.
