Seaway Invincible - Vessel information
Class I DP ROV support vessel
The Seaway Invincible is a sister ship to the Seaway Rover. Originally built as a stern trawler for North Sea operations, she was converted to air diving and pollution response in the 1980'ies.
The ship was fitted with a dynamic positioning system, entered the North Sea market as an ROV survey support vessel in early 1991. As the Tidewater Invincible, she has successfully performed in the offshore market throughout the 90' ies and early 00'ies.
In 1998 the Seaway Invincible became part of the Stolt Offshore fleet. The ship has been outfitted with workclass and observation class ROV systems and is particularly suitable for inspection and construction support activities within the offshore oil and gas industry.
In May 2005, the ship was aquired by Hallstrom Holdings Pte Ltd and transferred to Seaway Offshore Limited in August 2006. The ship has nearly completed a very extensive repair and refit program and is expected to be ready in March 2008.
