Multi-role Vessels for Diving and ROV Support Guardian Offshore New Zealand is a subsidiary of NZDS that was formed with the focus of offering new build multi-role vessels to the New Zealand market . “ A recent example was the securement and operation of the 2014 NZ new build Guru which was we utilized for several hydrographical , geophysical and geotechnical projects ”.
This multi-role support range will include diving , ROV , oil field support , inclusive of off-take chase vessels . “ Many of the international companies would now like the vessels they utilise for their projects to be less than 10 years old ,” explains Fergus . “ They would also like these vessels to have multi-role capabilities . While there are a lot of such vessels internationally , there ’ s a large mobilisation cost involved to bring them to New Zealand for a short period .” NZDS expects that having multi-role vessels based in New Zealand will help bridge that gap .
