Acta Marine’s newbuild Walk-to-work vessel Acta Centaurus has been delivered from Ulstein Verft, Norway, and has set sail for her first offshore wind assignment. The onboard logistics solutions have been developed with the consideration of the flow of people in various work operations. The vessel offers cargo areas of 1,000 square metres (indoors and outdoors), with a container skidding system and ample space for 24 containers.
