        All American Marine (AAM)向NV5公司Geodynamics交付了一艘研究和水文测量船，该船将为海上风电市场提供服务，并执行其他科学调查任务。

        AAM表示，这艘名为Shackleford的船是专门为美国东海岸的海上风电部门制作的，将在NV5-Geodynamics公司提供交钥匙式“单通道”海上勘探任务中发挥重要作用。

        这艘73英尺x 26.7英尺的半排水量铝双体船在贝灵汉湾（Bellingham Bay）进行了海试，然后通过货船运往北卡罗莱纳州博福特（Beaufort, North Carolina）的母港。

        AAM总裁兼首席运营官Ron Wille说：“这艘船将使地球动力公司的业务更上一层楼，提供无与伦比的服务，并极大地扩大他们在东海岸的科学活动。这艘船还将有助于推动东海岸及其他地区快速增长的风电场行业。”

        以沙克尔福德海岸命名，沙克尔福德是瞭望角国家海岸链最南端的堰洲岛，沙克尔福德是按照USCG分章T标准建造的。为了降低调查动员成本，该船配备了完全专用和冗余的调查系统，包括Kongsberg EM 2040 MKII多波束测深仪，该测深仪通过可伸缩支柱部署在船的月池中。

        该船集成了技术设计对称和不对称组合船体形状，船首波浪穿孔器和专利水翼辅助船体设计。这种设计的燃油容量为1500加仑，最多可容纳10名乘客16天。

        推进装置包括两个固定螺距螺旋桨，由双EPA Tier 3柴油发动机提供动力，额定功率为803 bhp @ 2100 RPM，驱动ZF 665V远程安装变速箱。

        Geodynamics公司高级副总裁Chris Freeman表示:“为了日复一日地获得最高水平的数据精度，我们在过去20年里的模型很简单：我们将船视为一种精确的测量仪器，为特定的测量环境量身定制，然后包裹在一组特定任务的理想传感器上。”

        “这艘一流的新型船将为我们提供一个无与伦比的平台，让我们继续专注于执行世界上最严格的海上测量规范，无论是用于海图绘制还是海底勘探，以支持海上风电开发。”

New US offshore wind survey vessel about to hit the water

All American Marine (AAM) has delivered a research and hydrographic survey vessel to Geodynamics, an NV5 company, that will service the offshore wind market and carry out other scientific survey missions.

The vessel named Shackleford has been specifically customized to serve the offshore wind sector on the U.S. Eastern Seaboard and will serve an integral role in NV5-Geodynamics’ mission of providing turnkey, “single pass” offshore surveys, AAM said.

The 73’ x 26.7’ semi-displacement aluminum catamaran hull was sea-trialed on Bellingham Bay, before being shipped via cargo ship to its homeport of Beaufort, North Carolina.

“This vessel will enable Geodynamics to take their business to the next level, provide unmatched services and expand their scientific activities on the east coast significantly.  The vessel will also help advance the rapidly growing windfarm industry on the East Coast and beyond,” said Ron Wille, President and COO of AAM.

Named after Shackleford Banks, the southernmost barrier island in the Cape Lookout National Seashore chain, Shackleford was constructed to USCG Subchapter T standards. To reduce survey mobilization costs, it is outfitted with fully dedicated and redundant survey systems, including the Kongsberg EM 2040 MKII multibeam echosounder which is deployed through the vessel’s moonpool via a retractable strut.

The vessel integrates the Teknicraft Design symmetrical and asymmetrical combined hull shape, bow wave piercer, and a patented hydrofoil-assisted hull design. With a fuel capacity of 1,500 gallons, this design is licensed for up to 16-day passengers and has live-aboard accommodations of up to 10 passengers.

The propulsion package includes two fixed pitch propellers, powered by twin EPA Tier 3 diesel engines, rated at 803 bhp @ 2100 RPM driving ZF 665V remote-mounted gearboxes.

“To achieve the highest level of data accuracy day in and day out, our model over the last two decades is simple: we consider the boat as a precision survey instrument, purpose-built for the specific survey environment and then wrapped around the ideal sensors for a specific set of missions,” said Chris Freeman, Sr. Vice President at Geodynamics.

“This new best-in-class vessel will provide an unmatched platform for our continued focus on performing to the most stringent offshore survey specifications in the world, whether that is for nautical charting or for subsea exploration to support offshore wind development.”
