DP Workboats; a new era for Multicat type vessels
Acta Marine has 40 years of experience operating 40 workboats globally. They were the first to install dynamic positioning (DP) systems on workboats in 2007. Currently they have 4 DP workboats that can perform tasks like trench backfilling, water jetting, offshore maintenance, and vibrocoring in ultra-shallow draft conditions, competing effectively with larger DP vessels. Their DP workboats are equipped with bow and stern thrusters for excellent position holding and can support additional work like trenching, ROV operations, and cable laying/burial.

4. Dynamic Positioning on workboats
2007, Acta Marine was the first operator installing DP on
workboats
Currently 4 DP vessels in operation
All vessels are ultra-shallow draft (draft < 2,0 m.)
DP workboats are competing with standard OSV / PSV DP 2
vessels at a competitive workboat charter rate.
5. Thruster set-up for Acta Marine workboats
For excellent position holding capabilities the DP workboats are
equipped with:
Stern: 2 x fixed propellor & 1 x 360 rudder propellor
Bow: 1 or 2 x 360 horizontal propellor/jet

Very effective and safe for
shore-ends, crossings and exposed
parts.
Succesfully applied on live gas
pipelines and power cables.
