Diverse begins its second Typhoon Class CTV build

The 25m Diverse Marine Typhoon Class CTV has been developed in combination with designer, builder, multiple CTV operators, windfarm developers and prime contractors to meet O&M project requirements.

Honed expertise

Extensive CFD has been carried out to develop the hull form of the vessel that incorporates an ultra-fine entry for excellent head sea performance and tower access.

During the design process, the team assessed many options to reduce hull resistance and as a result the hull form dismisses a conventional chine construction in favour or a rounded bilge type design.

This resulted in a 11% reduction in resistance at transition speed, commonly referred to as‘hump speed’ and a 7% reduction in resistance at operational speed.

In addition, a further 21% reduction in resistance at service speed is gained through the transom foils, also reducing the running trim. Reduction in resistance results in a reduction of fuel burn and CO2 emissions speed for speed.

The Typhoon Class is offered as standard with Zero Emissions (Power Management) class notation, recognising its reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Available as Quad IPS, Quad Hybrid IPS, Twin IPS Professional Hybrid, Twin CPP, Twin CPP Hybrid and in the future alternative fuels, leading to full electric to cater for different end user requirements and budgets.

The vessel is available under the Diverse Marine Client Finance Programme, the builder’s own finance and lease programme it designed initially for the financed construction of offshore wind crew transfer vessels
