60m Multi-Purpose Vessel
Nordes provided complete design and engineering support for this multipurpose utility and research vessel, built to meet demanding offshore and near-shore operational requirements. The scope included 3D modeling, layout optimization, and discipline coordination across structure, HVAC, piping, electrical, and interior systems, ensuring optimal functionality and crew comfort.
The vessel, equipped with an 8-ton SWL crane (25-meter outreach) and flexible deck arrangement, serves as a platform for survey, maintenance, and offshore logistics. Its robust hull design and dynamic system integration enable safe and efficient operation even in challenging sea conditions.
