Supporting a specialist with special skills
Fugro has many years of experience in operating special-purpose vessels, so their approach is always highly professional and on-point. C-Job, equally, is focused on designing the most efficient and sustainable ships.
Our close cooperation goes beyond the development of new designs and often leads to improvements in the fleet – as Fugro reaches out to C-Job for solutions that achieve higher levels of operability for a vessel. Examples include improving a ship’s stability, or seeking solutions to improve a ship’s rolling behavior to extend the weather window.
Here are just a selection of the most recent activities and cooperation between Fugro and C-Job:
The Fugro Quest and Fugro Helmert. Vessel motions may influence the acquisition of Geo-Data. Therefore, C-Job set up numerical seakeeping simulations which gave insights into how speed, heading, draft and the metacentric height (GM) of the ships influenced motion response. As a result of our work, and advice for improvement of the seakeeping characteristics of the vessels.
The Fugro Galaxy and Fugro Searcher. Fugro wanted to future-proof these special-purpose vessels by maximizing deadweight capacity (without modification work), and gaining the required stability reserve to retrofit for alternative fuels in the future. C-Job firstly recalculated the vessels’ stability to demonstrate how much additional cargo and equipment could be added, and secondly proposed different solutions, with a mix of low, medium and high impact modifications to maximize the deck deadweight capacity.
The Fugro Resilience and Fugro Resolve. Following significant refits of both vessels, including changes to the E&I systems, it was essential that the crew and fleet manager had proper documentation to operate and maintain the ships. C-Job collaborated with Fugro engineers to create as-built electrical documentation and revised AutoCAD drawings, using documents created prior to the vessels’ retrofits. We provide on-site assistance of this kind all over the world to remove the burden of documentation creation for clients.
C-Job’s cooperation with Fugro continues to date. Our work with this valued customer truly showcases our abilities, and the support we can offer to operators and shipowners.
