FARSET
With the arrival of the Farset, the company's fleet took a major step forward. From its inception the workboat was intended for multi-purpose use, capable of towing with a considerably higher bollard pull than previously available and carrying out line running work with greater efficiency than was possible with some of the existing plant.
Farset is powered by two Volvo Penta D12-550 diesels, each rated at 550 bhp (408kW) at 1900rev/min. The Farset was a replacement for the tug David Andrews, a vessel of 6 1/2 tonnes bollard pull that has now been retired, and complimentary to the tug/workboat Vera Lockhart. A bollard pull of 14.8 tonnes is a great advantage and the ability to control the bridle (gob) winch remotely from within the wheelhouse has reduced the risk to deckhands, improved communications and the reaction time in complying with pilot's requests.
