OSV Design
C-Job Naval Architects and offshore operator Glomar have unveiled the design of a next-generation Offshore Support Vessel (OSV).
The OSV is engineered to deliver greater flexibility across a wide range of offshore operations and reduce the environmental and commercial footprint associated with deploying several specialised vessels.
Developed as Glomar Offshore’s first vessel of its kind, the new design is intended to reduce the need for multiple specialised vessels by combining a broad range of offshore capabilities within a single platform.
The vessel has been engineered to support a diverse range of operations, including subsea inspection, cable trenching and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) activities.
At nearly 80 meters, the vessel is optimized for offshore environments, featuring:
• DP2 positioning and Ice Class for precision in harsh conditions.
• ROV hangar, moon pool and dedicated trencher deck space for subsea operations.
• Accommodation for 60 personnel, with 42 comfortable single cabins, 9 double rooms, a gym and sauna.
• A sky and exposed lounge.
The OSV’s multifunctional design allows seamless transition between offshore roles, offering operators a cost-effective, future-ready solution.
The vessel is also a showcase of environmental innovation, equipped with:
• Dual-fuel engines (methanol and MGO).
• Integrated methanol tanks and battery power systems.
• Methanol Ready and Green Plus notations for top-tier sustainability compliance.
