Green Rebel, an Irish offshore survey company, has announced the addition of a 56-metre multi-purpose vessel to its growing fleet. The company, headquartered in Cork Harbour, has signed a long-term hire agreement with Glomar Offshore for the Glomar Vantage, which will be equipped with a full suite of survey equipment, including a multibeam echosounder, a side scan sonar, a sub-bottom profiler, and a magnetometer.
The new vessel will be involved in multiple projects, including upcoming geophysical and geotechnical survey works in the North Sea and Irish Sea. Green Rebel’s existing fleet includes the Roman Rebel and Lady Kathleen.
The Glomar Vantage's size means it brings additional capabilities. The ship also has 27 accommodation berths, a gym, and a relaxation/games room on board. Kieran Ivers, CEO of Green Rebel, said, “We’re delighted to take on the Glomar Vantage as we continue to expand our fleet and offering. We have seen significant growth in our business over the past number of years and we are committed to working closely with our clients to provide the best-in-class data."
Green Rebel provides the offshore wind and other sectors with an end-to-end set of data services that extend from acquisition, processing, interpretations, and reporting, with their fleet of purpose-built vessels, floating LiDAR buoys, and in-house team of scientists and industry experts.
The company has several live and upcoming projects in Ireland, Scotland, and off the coast of mainland Europe. It also has a number of potential projects in international markets such as the United States and Australia. A dedicated survey team will be on board mapping large areas of the Irish Sea and North Sea as part of a major project. There will be 24 team members on board, each rotation made up of 8 survey crew, a Marine Mammal Observer, a client rep, and 14 vessel crew.
The addition of the Glomar Vantage to Green Rebel’s fleet highlights the company’s commitment to providing top-quality data services for the offshore sector. With a growing presence in both local and international markets, Green Rebel is poised to continue its success in the years to come.
