A new phase has been completed in the construction of the offshore support vessel “SeaDragon”, after the keel laying ceremony was held on May 13, 2025 at the CRIST shipyard, located in Gdynia, Poland.
SeaDragon’s breakthrough vessel and technology for demanding conditions
The “SeaDragon” is designed to support the structural development of the NB110 project. The vessel will integrate technologies such as the Walk2Work system, which enables the safe transfer of personnel between the vessel and offshore platforms, as well as DP3 dynamic positioning, which ensures stability and precision during offshore operations.
