The MRV 80 is designed to meet the needs of Navies, Coast Guards and offshore services companies worldwide wishing to procure an enduring yet economical ship. The MRV 80 provides significant capabilities for intervention and support by combining a large storage platform, a landing platform and a high level of offshore support equipment.

The MRV 80 is a compact multipurpose ship that can ensure offshore assistance missions (thanks to its high towing and pushing capacity, firefighting with water cannons and foam…) as well as support missions (The MRV80 is designed with a large surface at the stern for storing containers).

Thanks to its two heavy lift cranes, the MRV 80 may autonomously handle containers and other large equipment.

With a length of 80 meters and a beam of 17 meters the MRV 80 can be equipped with different engine, dynamic positioning and stabilization configurations depending on customer needs. The main bridge offers a panoramic 360° visibility.

Modularity has been studied so that MRV 80 can accommodate either modular living quarters or a field hospital. The versatile rear platform allows stowage of heavy machinery typically used in humanitarian assistance missions.

MRV 80 can be used in maritime oil spill response missions with large dispersant storage capacity or may accommodate compact containerized means with two lateral recovery systems and towed tanks.

MRV 80 is equipped with a workshop for technical assistance to other vessels or offshore platforms. Large living space can accommodate teams of scientists or teams of engineers or refugees.

CMN Engineers focused on the optimization of each function of the vessel to combine ease of use and reduced operating costs.

MRV 80 is a state of the art multipurpose offshore vessel that meets the needs of Navies, Coast Guards and offshore services companies wishing to have an enduring ocean-going vessel with significant response capabilities
