This article contains information about the different inputs available for the Service operation vessel (SOV). For other transport inputs, please see Transportation input overview.

General information

Input labelMandatoryDescription
NameThe official name of the transportation
Seat capacityThe capacity is the maximal number of Pax which can be transferred with the transportation
Cruising speed (knots)The cruising speed define the maximal speed of the transportation in knots
DP speedThe Dynamic Positioning speed is the speed the transport can travel in when it's positioning itself for jacking up
TypeThe type defines the kind of transportation. Depending on the type, different input boxes are available
Onshore portThe port is the harbour, airport or similar, used as the point of departure on the way to the base or as a base
IDThe ID is of unique value to identify the transportation
Work packageThe transport can be assigned to a certain work package

Current location

Input labelMandatoryDescription
LatitudeThe latitude where the transport is currently stationed
LongitudeThe longitude where the transport is currently stationed

Offshore location

Input labelMandatoryDescription
Latitude/longitudeThe latitude/longitude where the transport is stationed offshore while not doing any work
Show assets on siteSelecting a wind farm in the dropdown will display the turbines on the map
