The multi role capability of the ship would be key but looking at the Icelandic example in particular it would appear the free board of the working deck is very low thus making this a very 'wet' area and possibly unusable in the type of seas now encountered in Patrol areas.
While usable during towing events, how practical is it in every day operations?Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Great news for Cork today. Resolve Marine have announced they are setting up operations in Ringaskiddy. This company took over all the former UK Coastguard ETVs. They were also very involved in the recent salvage of the Cruise Liner "Costa Concordia. They were also involved in the salvage of MV Rena in NZ.
They will be working with IMERC to create ROV used in the salvage industry.
However this recently spent a few days enjoying the Cork facilities.
For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostLE Orla is twin engined and screwed. If the tug was towing a "Dead" ship it would have to be serious to totally impede propulsion. A double engine failure would be unusual except for fuel supply, cooling,or lube,or propellers impeded. If the tug was there to assist berthing I could understand that as at 1812 local time it was the top of High Water and the ebb might not have been significant for a clean port side berthing. No doubt we will find out in due time.Last edited by ibenji; 4 April 2015, 15:33.

Maybe fuel, but ships use a service tank and generally can keep the fuel contaminant free. Could be anything from the no no list!! Ropes , nets, lobster moorings etc.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

I'm not that familiar with the Loiter Gear, but you imply, that on Main Engines only, the ship wouldn't have a safe slow speed for maneuvering and berthing. The ship would need the Loiter Gear for slow approach to the quay wall. I remember the CMS's being giddy and we approached the berth on one engine only. On two engines the minimum speed was 5 knots. You could be right. Yes the ships diver should be able to cut away gear, particularly ropes.
