Offshore wind

The maritime autopilot for crew transfer vessels

Transfers are what the wind-farm client pays for. Naavra logs every one, keeps fenders and engines fit to transfer, plans maintenance into the nightly return to base and sends the daily client report.

In the crew transfer vessel pack

  • Fender and bow-landing wear tracked as a transfer limit
  • Jobs planned into the nightly return to base
  • Fuel and engine hours per trip
  • Trip safety briefing and seating recorded
  • Battery state and charging at base for hybrid and electric boats

12 features for crew transfer vessels, plus everything every ship type gets. Your colleagues:

Questions

About Naavra for crew transfer vessels

Does the client see the transfers?

Yes. The daily report to the wind-farm operator carries transfers, availability, downtime and incidents, from the same record.

How is downtime split?

Weather and technical downtime are recorded per contract as they happen, and feed the hire statement.

Why track fenders?

Worn fenders stop transfers, so fender wear is tracked as a transfer limit and the change is planned before it costs a day.

Is the offshore wind pack included?

A crew transfer vessel works under the offshore wind pack's transfers and client report, so the planner adds it and says why.
