Voyager 32 and Voyager 38 W2W series for the Oil & Gas sector are now upgraded with a sophisticated Dynamic Positioning 2 system. This optional feature is intended to meet customer and regulatory requirements, while improving safety of crew transfer to/from oil rigs and other offshore installations. The DP system will offer better operational freedom for a vessel positioned in a congested environment, and will contribute to preserving surrounding oceanic eco-system.
