Chartwell Marine are proud to have been asked by BAR Technologies to help design the BARTech30. BAR Technologies’ advanced simulation, CFD and naval architecture skills and our expert knowledge of the CTV industry and design for manufacturing have combined to produce this world leaving CTV. The aim of this modern CTV is to improve seakeeping and help make a green energy sector even greener by dramatically reducing fuel requirements and CO2 emissions. The result is a craft that is truly novel. It’s unique hull form and foiling systems are both patented by BAR Technologies.
The active foiling systems correct for pitch and roll and the slender hull form with the SWATH style outrigger help to minimise motions and fuel burn. This ensures the most comfortable journey but also an economic one. This 30m vessel reduces vertical accelerations by between 35% and 70% and is between 30% and 50% more fuel efficient (and therefore far less GHG if using similar propulsion methods).
With the vessel being able to operate if higher sea states than an equivalent sized catamaran, the turbines can also be serviced and maintained on more days thus saving the OEMs downtime and expense.
The BARTech30 is available for build in UK, USA and Asia with powertrain and superstructure layout the choice of the owner. Interested parties should contact BAR Tech at info@bartechnologies.uk
A similar foiling system is also available on our family of vessels via our partnership with BAR Technologies.
