Special vessels

Specialized shipping places both high and varied demands on the onboard systems and technologies. Subject to the vessel’s application, the design and fitting-out may need to accommodate particular machine layouts, a high power requirement, specific automation processes, or, extreme climatic conditions.

Special vessels can be divided into several types depending on the operations they perform, these include:

• Tugboats that moves other vessels by pushing or pulling them,
• Jack-up vessel which consists of a floating hull equipped with several moving legs,
• Cable layer designed and used to lay submarine cables,
• Work barge as a specialized carrier ship for different types of marine works,
• Cutter Dredger used for excavation and scraping of the seabed.
