Acta Marine has taken delivery of Acta Pegasus, its fourth walk-to-work vessel, expanding the offshore services provider’s fleet with a DP2 construction service operation vessel designed to support lower-emission operations.
The company said the newbuild is the first of four vessels under construction at Tersan Shipyard and will operate under the French flag from the port of Montoir-de-Bretagne.
Acta Pegasus can accommodate up to 135 people and is equipped with offshore access and lifting systems, including a 3D motion-compensated gangway and crane, enabling personnel transfers and operations in challenging offshore conditions.
The vessel is methanol-ready and features dual-fuel engines as part of Acta Marine’s efforts to reduce emissions from offshore activities.
“The arrival of Acta Pegasus marks a new standard of sustainable Walk-to-Work vessels, featuring environmentally friendly technologies such as green methanol dual fuel engines significantly reducing the CO2 emissions,” Rob Boer, chief executive officer of Acta Marine, said in a statement.
Boer added that the company was completing final preparations ahead of the vessel’s first deployment. “We are now mobilising the vessel and making final preparations to deploy the vessel to her first project,” he said.
According to Acta Marine, sister vessel Acta Hercules is scheduled to enter service in the first quarter of 2026, followed by Acta Gemini and Acta Aquarius in the second quarter of 2026.
Acta Pegasus is built on Ulstein’s twin X-STERN hull design and includes battery energy storage alongside SMST motion-compensated systems, allowing safe transfers in wave heights of up to 3.0 metres.
