The diver support ship SEABEX ONE has been designed for a
multitude of North Sea operational tasks by the Nobiskrug GmbH shipyard of
Rendsburg / Federal Republic of Germany: deep sea operations, underwater welding,
submarine construction work, fire-fighting, rescue and evacuation tasks in
emergencies (max. capacity 500 persons), hydrographic survey work, helicopter
landings, general oceanography and harvesting of submarine resources. In
order to enable the ship to fully perform its various duties it has been
equipped with an optimized propulsion system comprised of two stern-mounted
rudder/propeller SPPS units of 1620 kW each which provide forward thrust, act
as rudders and ensure precision position holding, plus two bow-mounted SPPS
units of 1100 kW each.
The rudder-propeller units, each powered by a DC electric motor, are
rotatable through 360° . SEABEX ONE is equipped with a diving system
consisting of seven chambers; one of them serves as entry to the diving bell.
The latter accommodates up to three divers and is capable of operations at
depths of up to 450 meters. It is closed at the side and lowered via the
"moon-pool". A diver rescue chamber is stationed on the main deck.
Ten TV monitors and nine cameras are used to supervise the diving system. A
goal-post structure, permanently erected at the transom, permits handling
heavy weights. Four fire monitors are also installed atop that structure for
fire-fighting operations. At the left side (port) an electronic-hydraulically
offshore crane has been provided. A heli-platform on the fore ship ensures
fast and problem free exchange of crew members, as well as emergency
evacuation. The model of SEABEX ONE has been engineered from original
blueprints supplied by the Nobiskrug shipyard. It offers to the modeler a
broad palette of interesting special functions, a palette which may be still
further enlarged, if desired. Thanks to its SPPS thrusters (which can be
rotated up to 90°) the vessel can turn "on a dime" and translate
sideways. Its offshore crane is a fully working unit. Water for the four
fire-fighting monitors is delivered by one or two gear-type pump(s). Main
rotor and tail rotor of the ship-borne helicopter are driven by an electric
motor. The R/C installation plan supplied refers to the installation of
proportional R/C Equipment All difficult-to-fashion parts, such as hull stern
goal post, funnels, crane pillar, helicopter etc. are furnished in the kit as
extrusions. A large number of miscellaneous plastic parts supplied in the set
of fittings No. 426 for dressing up the model also shorten the building time.
