Esvagt Dana stands out as a pioneering vessel in the offshore support segment, particularly through its integration of advanced multi-boat handling technology. Designed to carry and deploy a diverse fleet of four man-overboard (MOB) craft and workboats across three different types, Dana became the first vessel equipped with Vestdavit’s innovative MissionEase system. This ground-breaking solution was developed to streamline boat handling operations and enhance safety, while significantly reducing response time in emergency and operational scenarios. Its implementation aboard Dana reflects the growing industry demand for flexible, efficient, and space-saving launch-and-recovery solutions tailored to complex mission profiles.
At the heart of Dana’s MissionEase setup is a hydraulically powered wagon system that moves boats laterally within the mission bay. Once the desired boat is selected and brought into position, a telescopic dual-beam davit seamlessly carries out the launch and recovery sequence. The entire process is managed by a single operator using a remote-control unit, which simplifies operations while reducing crew workload. This combination of automation and precision handling not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures maximum safety for personnel and assets, especially in demanding offshore conditions. Dana’s successful deployment of MissionEase sets a new benchmark for multi-boat handling capability and underscores Vestdavit’s role as an industry leader in maritime innovation.
