MARIDIVE 231

The MARIDIVE 231 is an Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel, constructed in 2011, with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 1,350 tonnes and a gross tonnage of 1,855 tonnes. Its design is optimized for offshore operations, particularly in support of oil and gas activities. With a length overall (LOA) of 60.93 meters and a draft of 5.513 meters, it is suited for various marine environments, although specific operational capabilities are not detailed.

Current AIS data shows the MARIDIVE 231 is moving at a slow speed of 0.1 knots, indicating it may be at anchor or moored, likely preparing for loading operations at its destination of Khafji. Given the unknown draft utilization, further analysis is needed to determine if it is laden or in ballast for repositioning.

The MARIDIVE 231's current trading status and operational profile indicate potential suitability for contracts in the offshore oil and gas sector. Brokers should consider the vessel's age and performance capabilities when evaluating charter rates, as newer competing vessels may influence market pricing. The vessel's flag state (Belize) may also impact its regulatory compliance and market access.

With a total power output unspecified and propulsion type consisting of oil engines with geared drive, the MARIDIVE 231's operational efficiency cannot be fully assessed. Brokers should inquire about specific fuel types and engine efficiency to better inform charter negotiations. The vessel's deadweight capacity of 1,350 tonnes provides flexibility for various supply tasks, but the lack of detailed performance metrics may necessitate further assessment to optimize chartering decisions.
