The Chartwell COURAGEOUS is a pioneering crew transfer vessel (CTV) design that further refines the formula for offshore wind support. Developed off the back of ten years of data and experience in offshore wind vessel design, alongside extensive dialogue and collaboration with TV operators, wind farm owners and turbine manufacturers, the Chartwell COURAGEOUS responds directly to the needs of the end user.

The vessel is sized to be capable and effective in the challenging conditions in the ever growing offshore wind market. It surpasses the capability that has been achieved by the most effective vessels currently operating in the offshore wind market and builds on lessons learnt supporting European projects throughout construction and operation, while also  meeting new requirements emerging in markets such as the USA and Taiwan.

The vessel can be delivered in a range of configurations to suit specific operators requirements including hybrid zero emission.

The Chartwell Courageous Class hull design has been independently validated using the latest computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling methods, coupled with thorough

1:12 scale free running model tank testing. Combined, these processes constitute the most rigorous and scientific testing approach for any offshore wind CTV design to date.
