Ocean Infinity has announced the delivery of its first unit in a new series of 85-meter robotic vessels, which Norwegian company Vard constructed at its Vung Tau, Vietnam, facilities. Named Armada 86 01, the vessel will enhance Ocean Infinity’s operations across various sectors.
The Armada 86 01 will operate from shore and aims to utilize green ammonia as fuel. This change reflects the company’s commitment to sustainable practices in maritime operations.
This steel-hulled DP2 multirole vessel performs functions such as geophysical surveys, geotechnical sampling, inspection, and maintenance. With these capabilities, the Armada 86 01 effectively supports Ocean Infinity’s fleet of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), seabed drills, and Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT) systems.
In addition, the vessel features a removable aft bulwark that enables over-the-stern deployment of Ocean Infinity’s Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) fleet. Furthermore, the moonpool includes a modular Launch and Recovery System (LARS) that operates fully automated and allows remote control from Ocean Infinity’s Remote Control Center (RCC) network.
The Armada 86 01 accommodates up to 16 crew members and payload personnel, providing crucial support for extended missions.
Ultimately, the delivery of the Armada 86 01 represents a significant milestone for Ocean Infinity. The company continues to expand its capabilities while committing to innovative maritime solutions. By focusing on sustainability and advanced technology, Ocean Infinity positions itself to lead in the changing landscape of maritime operations.
