About
Bibby Marine Services Ltd.
Bibby were delighted to be working with Damen, one of the great names in shipping. Damen and Bibby are a similar size, both have a strong marine heritage and, almost uniquely are both family owned. Both companies focus on innovation and have similar corporate values. A collaborative approach was adopted in the design process. Bibby added our input about what we felt the customers’ requirements were and Damen modified the vessel to suit our suggestions, particularly the internal layout, work flows and the need for a ‘step less’ approach. Additional customer feedback was then incorporated in the final design.
Designed to handle well in excess of 2.50 metre significant wave heights, the Bibby WaveMaster 1 is fully adapted to cope with harsh North Sea conditions and crew comfort has been given the highest priority. Some of the features are:
• unique hull form and DP2 ensure max stability and operability in severe sea states;
• smart logistics/personnel workflows with step-less capability;
• unique fuel saving dual engine power configuration for lower operating costs; • multi- stop elevator, height adjustable pedestal and UpTime W2W gangway for max access;
• daughter craft, CTV landings/ refuelling, and helideck for increased access and max flexibility;
• large covered/air conditioned 6 container warehouse, large deck area, ten containers with crane;
• 60 ensuite cabins, numerous offices and leisure facilities. Max 90 pax;
• Comfort Class 2 accommodation.
Bibby WaveMaster 1 is much more than a vessel it is a ‘total access and accommodation’ solution. The development of this vessel started from scratch as opposed to being an evolution of an existing design. Great care has been taken over the design period to incorporate customer needs to ensure suitability to the tasks for which it has been designed.
