Ample Room For Underwater Camera DeploymentVessel has a large back deck and good clearance all around the cabin area for fishing or underwater camera operations for before, during and after Video Documentation of wind turbine locations.
CMID SurveyCommon Marine Inspection Document: Is a standard format for the inspection and auditing of offshore vessels. CMID safety surveys are required for all vessels working in the Offshore Wind Industry.
FAST – 20 kt Speed if RequiredVessel can go from one location to another in about half the time as it would take a regular commercial vessel. If in the event of a collision with a marine mammal, or sighting of North American Right Whale, the vessel can quickly be on site to monitor.
Federal Fisheries PermitPermitted Fishing Vessel as per NOAA, (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration).
