Ep.11: Providing essential medical support to industry workers offshore
<p>While the offshore wind industry has an enviable safety record, unfortunately, incidents do happen. Early access to treatment from experienced and qualified medical professionals can save lives and promote better recovery. It can also save money by keeping people working and avoiding unnecessary early returns to shore. But you can't call for a paramedic offshore can you?</p> <p>Well, perhaps you can. In this episode, we spoke with Paramedic Mike Campey who is employed by Turner Iceni, a specialist supplier of O&M wind turbine services (onshore and offshore), including the provision of technicians to the wind industry. The company also owns and operates a fleet of 11 crew transfer vessels.</p> <p>Mike has MCA STCW and GWO qualifications so works as part of the CTV crew but is primarily onboard as a Paramedic. As part of the vessel crew, Mike doesn't take up a technical place on the vessel. But he is on hand to provide critical, and potentially life-saving support if required. </p> <p>Listen to find out more about Mike's journey to being a paramedic and what he brings to the project team. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Notes</strong></p> <p>Healthcare professionals are regulated by the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC) <a href="https://www.hcpc-uk.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">More details</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.turnericeni.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Turner Iceni</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.4coffshore.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">TGS | 4C Offshore</a></p>

Ep.10: So what is a SWATH vessel?
<p>If you are confused about what a SWATH vessel is, then you have come to the right place. John Kecsmar from Ad Hoc Marine Designs joined us in 4C Crow's Nest and explained very eloquently what is meant by 'SWATH', that is to say, 'Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull. John is a naval architect with many years of industry experience and is well-known for his expertise in SWATH designs.</p> <p>John talked about how the SWATH design was developed and has since proven itself in the offshore wind market, achieving safe transfers in high seas. He also explained other advantages of the configuration as well as debunking some of the myths surrounding the vessels.</p> <p>Given their track record in offshore wind, it is perhaps surprising that the number of SWATH vessels working in the sector remains relatively low. Currently, there are 21 CTVs and 1 SOV in operation. But two more SWATH SOVs are underway. The two WindKeeper vessels in build at the Cemre yard in Turkey for GC Rieber Shipping are a SWATH design.</p> <p>Visit <a href="https://www.4coffshore.com/">4C Offshore</a> for more information</p> <p><a href="https://www.adhocmarinedesigns.co.uk/">Ad Hoc Marine Designs</a></p>

Ep.9: Meet the team - what it's like to crew a CTV
<p>Every day from ports around the world, hundreds of CTVs set sail to turbine and substation locations transferring technicians and equipment. The crew on the vessel is an essential part of ensuring that offshore wind projects are maintained efficiently and safely.</p> <p>So if you have ever wondered what goes on during a typical day on a CTV, listen to our latest podcast episode. We were joined by Nikky Williams, who is a Master for vessel operator Tidal Transit. Nikky joined the Crow's Nest from onboard CTV Kitty Petra while the vessel was alongside in Liverpool undergoing maintenance work, prior to transiting to Grimsby on the east coast. </p> <p>Nikky discussed what it is like to be part of a CTV crew. How the days start, the transfer process, and what happens when they are not busy transferring technicians to turbines? It is definitely a very busy and varied job with no two days being the same. </p> <p>If you are interested in becoming a mariner, Nikky also described the process of qualification. It's not easy, as both technical qualifications are needed as well as sea time, but brings fantastic career opportunities.</p> <p><a href="https://www.4coffshore.com">www.4coffshore.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.tidal-transit.com/">www.tidal-transit.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p>
