The project will develop and test a low cost Dynamic-Positioning barge installation vessel suitable for installing tidal turbine arrays at energetic and exposed tidal sites. The vessel will be based on a flat top barge with significant deck space and adequate craneage capacity to deploy a wide range of tidal devices of 1MW size and above with associated drilling equipment, umbilicals etc. The vessel will have a novel propulsion system and bespoke DP controller onboard designed to maximise the tidal and weather operating window of the vessel. The project aims to deliver a DP tidal array installation vessel that can be chartered at a small fraction of current offshore DP vessel rates. The partners are IT Power (project lead), KML (marine contractor & shipowner), Reygar Ltd (DP controller developer) and A&P (Falmouth based shipbuilders).

该项目将开发和测试一种低成本的动态定位驳船安装船，适合在有能量的和裸露的潮汐场地安装潮汐涡轮机阵列。该船将以平顶驳船为基础，具有很大的甲板空间和足够的起重能力，以部署范围广泛的1兆瓦及以上尺寸的潮汐装置以及相关的钻井设备、脐带管等。船上将有一个新颖的推进系统和定制的DP控制器，旨在最大限度地延长船舶的潮汐和天气运行窗口。该项目的目标是交付一艘DP潮汐阵列安装船，该船可以以目前离岸DP船费率的一小部分进行租用。合作伙伴是IT Power(项目负责人)、KML(船舶承包商和船东)、Reygar Ltd(DP控制器开发商)和A&P(法尔茅斯造船公司)。
