Originally built in 1983 the Bucentaur has recently undergone a series of extensive upgrades focussed on improving the safety and efficiency of operations as well as improving the technical capabilities of the ship. The Bucentaur also services other market areas including subsea module handling, wellhead maintenance, pile and conductor installation and drill string operated jetting tools for excavation and removal of material from clay fraction up to boulder size.



 


Markab
The Markab is a multi-purpose vessel capable of supporting a variety of offshore tasks. Markab has excellent lifting capacity, a large deck space and two moonpools combining to provide a safe and efficient platform for geotechnical drilling and ROV construction support. The vessel is also equipped with a four point mooring system.



 


Mariner
The Mariner was specially converted to perform geotechnical operations in 1974. Since then the ship has been operating worldwide and is currently stationed in the Far East. The Mariner is equipped with a six point mooring system with the capability to anchor in very soft to hard bottoms in a maximum water depth of 200 metres. With anchoring assistance, this water depth can be increased to 320 metres.
