With the Spill Response Vessel for the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing the German shipyard Peene-Werft GmbH delivered another highly- sophisticated ship. The multi-purpose vessel is ready for duties within the framework of the maritime emergency response in the North and Baltic Sea for fighting against oil- and chemical spills and for executing emergency towing operations in the Baltic Sea. Furthermore, the concept includes an engagement in icebreaking, handling seamarks and fulfilling tasks of the shipping police.
For the intended purpose the vessel is equipped with special winches, boats, cranes, skimmers, separation plants, cargo tanks and fire-fighting systems. Operation in anti-gas mode is possible by means of the installation of special diesel engines and the arrangement of a citadel.
The diesel-electric propulsion system comprising two Schottel Electric Propulsors of 1850kW each and a Schottel Pump-Jet of 1000kW provides the vessel with a speed of 13.1 kn, a bollard pull of 400 kN and the required good manoeuvring features. Modern radio, communication and nautical plants are fitted. Together with a horizontal log and five computer working stations interlinked via LAN, the set duties can be fulfilled in an optimal way.
