M/V “NORMAND RANGER” is an Anchor Handling Tug
Supply Vessel designed by Vik Sandvik (Wärtsilä). The vessel is
propelled by two large diesel engines, one per side. The
propeller power could be boosted by electric motors via
reduction gear PTI, in operations where more propeller power
is required.
There are different combinations how the propulsion can be run:
• Boost mode (full power at 750 rpm, including electric motors)
• Diesel Electric (DE) mode
• Diesel Mechanic (DM) mode
• DP in diesel mechanic mode, good weather
• DP in diesel mechanic mode, bad weather
Main Activities
• Anchor Handling Towing Winch, 500 t SWL,
three separate drums
• General supply services, including carrying liquid mud, brine,
and dry bulk
• Duties for standby and rescue operations
• Fire fighting operations
M/V ”NORMAND RANGER” is an environmentaly friendly ship
in all respects. The ship is built according to Det Norske Veritas
class Clean Design. Also, catalytic reactors for minimum NOx
emissions are installed. A Green Passport complying with IMO
ship recycling scheme is issued.
