Specifications
The aluminum catamaran “The Holly” is a professionally designed and built workboat, manufactured in 2013 by the renowned shipyard Alnmaritec. With a length of 16.3 meters and a width of 7 meters, this catamaran offers a stable and spacious work platform for various maritime applications. The boat is certified under the UK Workboat Code Category 3 and has previously been used for various commercial activities such as dive support, geophysical surveys, ROV operations, and crew transport.
Construction and Design
The hull of “The Holly” is entirely made of aluminum, contributing to a robust and low-maintenance construction. Thanks to the catamaran design, the vessel boasts excellent stability, even in rough weather conditions. The shallow draft of 1.40 meters allows it to operate in both shallow coastal waters and open sea. The dual rudders and internal steering via a wheel provide precise maneuverability, which is essential for precision work such as survey and dive operations.
Propulsion and Performance
Propulsion is provided by two Cummins QSC8.3 diesel engines, each with a power of 585 hp. These inboard engines, electrically started, are also from 2013 and deliver a cruising speed of approximately 22 km/h (about 12 knots) and a top speed of 30 km/h (about 16 knots). The fuel tank has a capacity of 4000 liters, ensuring a wide range for long-term operations. The engines are operational and supported by a Pramac generator for additional onboard power supply.
Navigation and Electronics
The navigation equipment on board is extensive and professionally set up. The equipment includes two chart plotters, radar, AIS, GPS, depth sounder, log/speedometer, compass, VHF and UHF radios, CCTV, and dual engine panels. The electrical installation includes a battery charger, alternator, inverter, and shore power connection, operating on a 12V system.
Work Equipment and Deck Gear
“The Holly” is equipped with a 1.5-ton A-frame, a moonpool, and a 4-point anchoring system, making it suitable for a variety of maritime tasks. Two electric winches and an “over the side pole” allow equipment to be safely and efficiently deployed overboard. An electric anchor winch with chain ensures quick and reliable anchoring operations.
Interior and Accommodation
Onboard, there are two fixed berths, a dining area, refrigerator, stove, microwave, and an electric toilet. The hot air heating provides comfort during operations in colder climates. The sanitary facilities are connected to direct discharge into open water, in accordance with the usual standards for workboats.
Safety and Certification
The safety equipment includes a lifebuoy, life raft (inspection date unknown), and a manual bilge pump. The boat is certified under the UK Workboat Code Category 3 and has previously been assessed for the Irish P5 endorsement. An upgrade to Category 2 is possible, depending on the requirements of the future owner or operator.
History and Use
“The Holly” was originally built for work on the Forth Bridge and has since served various maritime companies, including McLachlan Marine and Ondine Survey. The boat has been used for a range of operations such as dive support, geophysical surveys, and ROV operations. In 2023, the vessel was taken out of the water for maintenance and antifouling treatment.
Application Possibilities
Thanks to its robust construction, spacious deck area, and extensive equipment, “The Holly” is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Transport of personnel (crew transfer)
- Survey and measurement work
- Dive support
- ROV operations
- Nearshore and offshore maritime services
