Four major innovations for walk2work vessels DP GEZINA and DP GALYNA

Press Release
Walk2work offshore support accommodation vessels DP GEZINA and DP GALYNA are now being upgraded for even better performance.

Dutch developer and operator of walk2work offshore and nearshore support vessels and barges, Chevalier Floatels, says these vessels will be available for chartering soon. CEO Chevalier Floatels, Marcel Roelofs explains: “We used client feedback and our own experience over the past couple of years to make these vessels even better.”

Four shipping innovations
Four major innovations took place on board DP GEZINA and DP GALYNA.

  • Chevalier Floatels increased total bed capacity to 70 while in compliance with the Special Purpose Ships (SPS) code.
  • The company has doubled deck capacity by adding one more deck. Additional workspace has been created and a large covered area is now available for storing containers.
  • The ships are outfitted with a second retractable azimuth bow thruster for a stronger DP plot and improved Ampelmann performance.
  • By installing a pedestal under the Ampelmann, turbines and platforms are now accessible at 23 metres above the waterline.

Fully equipped for 24/7 offshore operations
DP GEZINA and DP GALYNA are both outfitted with an Ampelmann heave compensated gangway and crew boat landing for personnel transfer operations. With increased passenger capacity, deck space, Ampelmann performance and platform access height, DP Gezina and DP Galyna, are now fully equipped to handle the most demanding walk2work projects.
