Barco de Apoio a Pesquisa Sísmica 23 ft

The Jemar Norpower 23ft Seismic Workboat is a special designed workboat for cable handling operations at sea.

It can operate as a “stand alone” workboat on survey vessels with weight or space limitations or 2nd Workboat onboard “full size” survey vessels or placed on a chase boat.

This spare workboat will fit onboard all types of mother vessels. 

This is the smallest and lightest of our seismic workboats. 

Vital parts of the boat-construction are strengthened based on experience from rough handling of workboats on purse net seiners, Supply vessels in the North Sea, and supply of more than 100 workboats for seismic operations over the last 15-20 years.

The workboat is certified as a decked boat, and the shape of the hull forms a boat with square stern and deep keel, trim and bowline inclining forward.

The deck is self-drained and large flush work deck behind the winch, for working or passengers (Crew transfer).

It is fully equipped for all kinds of cable work like cleaning cables, changing streamer sections, repairing birds and towing tail buyouts.

Thanks to the variable pitch propeller and the hull design the boat is able to tow 2,5 tons and obtain a speed of 20 knots. 

The strong construction and solid fender make the workboat endure rough treatment.
