How Workboats Consulting supported the Vuosaari fairway deepening with manning and CTVs

Workboats Consulting provided essential manning services and crew transfer vessel (CTV) solutions for Boskalis Terramare during the deepening of the Vuosaari fairway and harbour basin in Helsinki. When Boskalis Terramare took on the challenge of this large-scale offshore dredging project, precision and efficiency were critical. The project required seamless logistics, experienced personnel, and reliable crew transfer solutions. That’s where Workboats Consulting stepped in.

Ensuring a skilled offshore workforce

Manning offshore projects demands expertise, flexibility, and an understanding of operations where the crew is needed. Workboats Consulting provided experienced professionals, ensuring smooth crew rotations. Our tailored manning solutions allowed Boskalis Terramare to maintain efficiency, keeping the dredging, drilling, and blasting operations running without delays.

From dredging to CTV crew, we sourced crew that had lots of experience and knowledge of the operations. Our ability to provide skilled crew quickly meant project continuity was never at risk.

Reliable crew transfer with CTVs

Offshore worksites demand efficient crew transportation. Our CTV vessel played a crucial role in transferring dredging crews safely between shore and offshore locations, minimizing downtime and optimizing working hours. Fast, reliable, and built for offshore conditions, our CTV ensured that engineers, technicians, and dredging crews could access the dredging sites without disruption. Workboats Consulting’s CTVs provided the reliability and safety necessary to support the offshore teams, ensuring that Boskalis Terramare could focus on their primary dredging operations.

Workboats Consulting as a reliable manning partner

"We have co-operated with Workboats Consulting OÜ since 2020 and have experienced a high-level proficiency, dedication, and correctness in providing various services to support our projects. Workboats Consulting has provided solutions to support our fleet with additional equipment like CTVs and research for Tugs and Barges. The charter/buying conditions and support during the services have been exceptional and we appreciate this highly, considering the risks our projects are facing. In addition, Workboats Consulting has provided us vessel crews to manage our most demanding projects. It is really challenging to find experienced seamen to join dredging works on our vessels, but Workboats Consulting has been a reliable partner in this field," said Jani Vyyryläinen, Project Manager at Terramare OY.
