Alphatron Marine signs AlphaBridge contract for first Damen Service Operations Vessel

The new vessel, Bibby WaveMaster 1, is being built at Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania with expected delivery in January 2017. The vessel is a custom designed 90-meter long Service Operations Vessel, which is specifically designed for maintenance engineers employed by offshore wind operators to work more efficient while maximizing comfort for longer periods at sea, even up to 30 days at a time. The ergonomic design of AlphaBridge follows regulations and enables intuitive, comfortable operation, which ultimately enhances the safety of the vessel. Alphatron Marine will supply an all-embracing bridge tailored to the requirements of this special purpose vessel. The best possible configurations were selected, keeping it solid and stable, without compromising on a sleek overall design. While both safety and efficiency are integral features, comfort is also paramount. Therefore, Alphatron Marine will install a comprehensive IT and entertainment package for the accommodations on board the vessel, consisting of no less than 60 individual en-suite berths. All living quarters will be equally equipped with TV and Wi-Fi.
