Papendrecht, 5 november 2024, Saltwater Engineering, a Papendrecht-based engineering firm in the maritime sector, proudly announces the launch of its latest vessel design, Blue Quest.
At Saltwater Engineering, they have a history of converting vessels for the survey market. However, each conversion brings its own unique set of challenges: Is the deck large enough? How must the required sensors be mounted? How noisy are the propellers? These questions, and many more, are constant considerations. To address these issues head-on, they decided to develop a new, purpose-built design: Blue Quest.
A new era in offshore surveys
Drawing from extensive experience in vessel conversions, Blue Quest was crafted to embody multifunctionality within a streamlined and efficient design. This vessel is specifically tailored for geophysical surveys, minor geotechnical works, and UXO identification and removal. It serves as a versatile platform, easily mobilized to suit a variety of offshore survey services.
According to Sander Broekmeulen, CEO of Saltwater: “We are incredibly proud to launch Blue Quest, a service vessel for the offshore wind sector, following Blue Sky. This vessel is a product of our commitment to innovation and sustainability in shipping. We invite everyone to attend the launch at the Offshore Energy exhibition.”
Offshore Energy
The official launch of Blue Quest will take place at the Offshore Energy exhibition in the RAI – Amsterdam, The Netherlands. During this two-day event, held on November 26 and 27, attendees will have the opportunity to view the scale model up close. Various staff members will also be available to provide explanations about the design and, of course, answer any questions. The Saltwater Engineering booth can be found at number 1.335.
