Launching Multi Purpose Offshore Support Vessel - Hos Iron Horse

The Hos Iron Horse is a versatile vessel and suitable for worldwide operation. Hornbeck Offshore Services intends to use the vessel in first instance in the shallow waters of the Mexican Gulf.

The moonpool facilitates subsea operations. Subsea operations can be supported by two work class ROVs which are housed in a hangar.

The vessel is equipped with a 400-metic tonnes heave compensated mast crane cpable of working at a 3,000-metres water depth and a 120-metric tonnes heave compensated offshore knuckle boom crane.

Furthermore the vessel has a helicopter platform and accommodation for a crew of one hundred.
