MINKAR is a modern DP2-class offshore vessel built in-house by Elektro-Plus, designed for survey operations, ROV support and offshore project work.

The vessel has successfully completed sea trials in the Baltic and is entering service with Seaspan Offshore.

MINKAR is the next vessel of this class delivered entirely in-house by Elektro-Plus — from design and prefabrication through to commissioning and sea trials. The scope included:

  • Construction of the complete vessel at our own quay in Gdynia
  • Design and installation of electrical systems, power supply and main switchboards
  • Integration of the diesel-electric + conventional propulsion system (2 × Baudouin 599 kW, 2 azimuth thrusters, 2 bow thrusters)
  • Installation and commissioning of the Kongsberg K-POS 21 DP2 system together with position reference sensors
  • Power Management System (PMS), deck automation and monitoring
  • Outfitting and integration of survey facilities (moonpool, A-frame, laboratories, ROV infrastructure)
  • FMEA testing, harbour acceptance trials and sea trials under classification society supervision
  • Full as-built documentation and handover package
