Operability Analysis of Wind Farm Maintenance with the Damen FCS2610

The Damen Twin Axe Fast Crew Supplier (FCS)2610 is an offshore wind farm maintenance vessel that can safely and efficiently transfer mechanics between land and a wind farm. The thesis objective is to research the operational capability of the FCS by gaining insight into the push docking procedure of the transfer process. To keep the vessels bow...
