Commercial workboats
The BAR Technologies project was guided by two principal objectives: firstly, to significantly reduce the fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions of vessels servicing wind turbines, thereby minimising environmental impact; and secondly, to enhance the vessel’s seakeeping capabilities to reduce seasickness and minimise the incidence of resulting aborted trips.
The resulting innovative hull design, featuring a narrow main hull with an outrigger controlled by an active foiling system, introduced unique challenges for the systems engineering process.
EMS delivered Class and production designs for mechanical and domestic systems, providing a complete 3D systems model to support routing, equipment placement, access for servicing and detailed weight calculations. Our approach leveraged our extensive expertise in crew transfer vessel design allowing us to develop a solution specifically tailored to address the unique challenges presented by this vessel.
By integrating advanced engineering solutions and optimising system configurations we supported the vessel in meeting its fuel reduction targets, while also ensuring superior stability and comfort at sea. This directly contributed to operational efficiency and reduced voyage interruptions.
