Frequently Asked Questions — Workboats
19 listings across eight categories: multicats and multi-purpose workboats (17m–24m); accommodation and support vessels up to 200 POB; a DP2 platform supply vessel (Kleven VS 470 MKII); cable and pipe-lay vessels including a DP2 pipe layer and DP1 cable layer (7,000T capacity); crane barges up to 4,000T lift capacity; semi-submersible installation platforms (600T–8,000T); a BV-classed self-propelled DP pontoon; and survey, pilot and tender boats from 8m. Build years range from 1979 to new-builds delivering 2025–2026, classed with DNV, BV, ABS, CCS and RINA.
Three DP-equipped vessels: a Kleven-built DP2 PSV (VS 470 MKII, YOM 2006, dual bow and stern thrusters, 23 beds, 720 m² deck); a DP2 pipe-laying vessel (YOM 2020, ~100m LOA, 300T crane, 4–60 inch pipe capacity, PRAXIS DP system); and a non-propulsion DP1 cable layer (YOM 2023, 105m x 33m, CCS-classed, 7,000T cable capacity). The BV-classed self-propelled pontoon GMK1 (YOM 2014, 92.9m x 22m) also carries DP SAM notation.
Key areas: hull condition and plate thickness (ultrasonic gauging); main engine hours and service records; DP system certification and annual trial results (for DP1/DP2 vessels); crane certification including load tests and wire rope condition; classification status—survey dates, conditions of class and trading restrictions; ballast and fuel tank integrity; navigation and communication equipment (GMDSS compliance); and accommodation standards if applicable. Remora Docks' managed buying service can coordinate independent vessel surveys and pre-purchase inspections.
Self-propelled vessels (multicats, PSVs, MPSVs) typically sail under own power, subject to class and flag-state approval. Non-propelled units such as crane barges and pontoons require wet tow. Smaller boats under ~10m (tenders, survey boats) can travel by road on a flatbed or as deck cargo. Semi-submersible platforms need specialist heavy-transport. Most listings are sold 'as is, where is'—our managed services team can coordinate delivery quotations and marine warranty survey requirements.
Two options. Self-managed: list directly on our marketplace, reaching offshore contractors, marine construction firms, cable-lay operators and vessel charterers. Managed selling: our team handles professional listing, targeted buyer outreach, inspection coordination and negotiation—suited for high-value DP vessels, crane barges and specialist tonnage. Contact support@remoradocks.com with vessel particulars, classification status, location and timeline.
New-build workboats require 12–24 months for multicats and 2–4 years for specialist vessels like DP pipe layers, with costs driven by steel prices and yard availability. Used vessels offer immediate availability at lower capital outlay. Our inventory includes recent builds—a 2024 multicat, 2023 DP1 cable layer, and 2021 semi-submersible installation platform—with current or recently lapsed classification. For project-based campaigns or charter requirements, a used workboat delivers the capability without long-term capital commitment while keeping functional tonnage in the maritime circular economy.
