Our special vessel, the „Natalia Bekker“, is used to transfer service personnel working on the offshore wind farm in the North Sea.

The wind farm tender was built at the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard using SWATH@A&R technology. SWATH is the acronym for a small-waterplane-area twin hull that is less affected by swell due to its special hull design. Its increased stability makes the SWATH wind farm tender ideal for transporting our service personnel safely to the wind turbines and back to the accommodation unit on the transformer platform – even in the roughest conditions. The special vessel is permanently stationed at the wind farm during the installation phase.
