HULL DEVELOPMENT
We offer a wide range of our own designs, developed with focus on motions and constructability. Through our projects we have proven that we are able to deliver innovative, high-quality and cost-effective solutions for the maritime industry.
HULL DEVELOPMENT
Cargo Transfer Vessel – CTV (Patent granted)
CHALLENGE
How to get oil directly to the market without reloading the cargo, either at terminals or by ship-to-ship transfer.
GOAL
Develop an offshore loading solution with focus on cost saving, safety and flexibility for customers, without any modification to existing infrastructure.
SOLUTION
Cargo Transfer Vessel (CTV) = New flexible concept connecting offshore fields to the market by direct loading to trading tankers. Patented by Cefront Technology with safety, cost and operational advantages over current solutions such as CALM buoys and shuttle tankers.
HULL DEVELOPMENT
