General – Operational Management
Inyanga Marine Energy Group has announced they are taking over the operational management of the newly built vessel Tor Boreas, an innovative hybrid utility vessel.
Inyanga will operate the vessel in partnership with Tor Group.
The vessel targets the offshore wind sector and is suitable for a variety of activities within the industry, including geotechnical seabed surveys, ROV operations, subsea inspections, and diving operations.
Richard Parkinson, CEO of Inyanga Marine Energy Group, says: “Tor Boreas sets a new gold standard for utility work vessels in this sector. The vessel features highly innovative qualities. It has electric propulsion integrated with a dynamic positioning system, allowing the vessel to accurately maintain its position while performing subsea tasks. This results in greater efficiency in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. The vessel also includes a gyro-stabilized anti-roll system, providing a very stable operating platform and enhancing safety while enabling operation in more marginal conditions. Additionally, it is equipped with a four-point mooring system for operations where dynamic positioning isn’t suitable, such as diving. Furthermore, it offers comfortable accommodation for up to 12 client personnel, supporting longer offshore stays. This exceptional vessel ranks at the top of the workboat standards in terms of operational capabilities.”
Tor Boreas has a length of 26.95m and breadth of 11m, a depth of 4.35m and a maximum draught of 3.5m. She features an offshore crane and a 5 tonne hydraulic A- frame, as well as towing capability, with a 25 tonne electric aft winch and a 17 tonne bollard pull.
The vessel was designed by Macduff Ship Design and built in Turkiye by Tor Marine, part of the Tor Group.
