Fourth walk-to-work vessel into service as Koenigsborg

Friday, April 1 2022

General – ERRV

Wagenborg Offshore has taken its fourth walk-to-work vessel (W2W) into service as Koenigsborg.

Koenigsborg is used as a standby and support vessel for inspection and maintenance of unmanned platforms in the southern north sea.

After the positive experiences with the W2W vessels Kasteelborg and Keizersborg, Wagenborg has once again opted to convert a standard Platform Supply Vessel into this specialist offshore vessel.

The DP2 PX121 vessel, previous named Hermit Viking, was designed and built in Norway.

In approximately 6 months’ time, Royal Niestern Sander shipyard has converted the Koenigsborg by building  a dedicated  accommodation module, installing a motion compensated gangway, and converting her in accordance with SPS-60 class.

As an Emergency Response and Rescue Vessel (ERRV), the Koenigsborg can be deployed in emergency situations at platforms for rescue work, standby activities, emergency towing or patrol tasks.

The ship is equipped with extra facilities on board, such as an infirmary, reception rooms, a decontamination room, a recovery room and extra sanitary facilities.

Koenigsborg is also equipped with a daughter craft and a fast rescue boat, so that rescue activities can also be carried out in bad weather.
