On Wednesday 20 June, godmother Mrs. Ingelore Hering of the Lower Saxony Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Building and Climate Protection named Acta Marine's second Walk to Work Support Vessel Acta Auriga.
Auriga being one of the stellar constellations in the northern hemisphere. The ceremony took place at Südkai Emden.
Deployed at Bard Offshore 1
As of May 2018, the Acta Auriga is deployed as operations and maintenance vessel for Ocean Breeze Energy’s (OBE) 400 Mw offshore windfarm Bard Offshore 1. The windfarm is located 80 km offshore in the German Bight.
The Acta Auriga supports OBE’s offshore operations by providing safe transfer of technicians and cargo to the wind turbines on a 24/7 and year-round basis.
Acta Auriga
The Acta Auriga, a jointly developed Ulstein SX195 design, features an SMST 3D-compensated gangway and 3D-crane as well as the Ulstein X-Bow and X-Stern that optimise overall seakeeping and workability. The Acta Auriga can accommodate up to 120 persons.
Third Walk to Work Support Vessel
Acta Marine has a sister vessel to the Acta Auriga under construction at Ulstein Verft for delivery early 2019. Acta Marine's first Walk to Work Support Vessel was the Acta Orion.
