Vessel Provision

Operation of Manor fleet for Offshore Wind projects.

A complete, independent turnkey vessel provision service

We currently own and operate the Manor Venture, Manor Initiative, Manor Enterprise and Manor Endurance for both offshore wind construction and operation and maintenance activities; in practice we provide a complete turnkey service, independently with one interface for our clients.

An unrivalled view of the global offshore market

With significant experience ranging from smaller workboat-coded craft through to dynamically positioned vessels, we have an unrivalled view of the overall offshore market. This overview of capability is combined with an awareness of availability and a clear appreciation for the type of vessel required to undertake any given task.

Manor Venture – our first vessel

Our own vessel, constructed in 2017, set new standards in the operating parameters of CTVs and was designed specifically for those projects in deeper waters and further offshore; the overall fuel capacity of 40 tonnes and cabin space for 12 personnel formed the backbone of the vessel design.

Expanding vessel provision

As we continue to expand our vessel provision by both increasing chartering activities and committing to investment in new innovative designs; we believe this allows us to prepare in readiness for the larger construction activity of both UK Round 3 windfarms and beyond.

Manor Initiative – refurbished offshore CTV

In 2019 MRE purchased the Manor Initiative, previously a 17m CTV, built in 2012. The vessel has been modernised to maximise the deck space, overall cargo carrying capacity and transit speed through the water; extensive reconditioning, lengthening & re-engining works were carried out at the Manor Marine shipyard.

Manor Enterprise – high speed offshore CTV

Following her sister vessel, the Manor Enterprise is currently undergoing a similar scope of reconditioning, lengthening & re-engining works at Manor Marine; she is due to join the fleet in May 2020.

Manor Endurance – cutting-edge offshore CTV

Using lessons learnt from the build of the Manor Venture, the Manor Endurance is suitable for a range of offshore works while embracing new technology; with an increased accommodation capacity for 14 personnel, the Endurance will be well-equipped for projects offshore.

Whether utilising our own tonnage or similar vessels from our network, we’ll manage the performance and delivery of the workscope throughout the charter period.
