IDP Marine

IDP Marine provides a range of vessel and vessel management services for its customers. The company own and operates MV Clupea, which the company acquired and rebuilt in 2009, and MV IDP Supporter, a 10m fast vessel, used for crew changes, logistical support errands and as a platform for inshore diving and survey tasks. Both vessels are available for charter for a wide variety of tasks.

MV Clupea is a 32 metre, Lloyds 100A+1, vessel, acquired and substantially rebuilt by IDP Marine in 2009. With a service speed of 10 knots and comfortable accommodation for 10 client personnel (4 single and 3 double cabins), the vessel is ideally suited for hydrographic and geophysical surveys, geotechnical investigations and bird surveys. The vessel was built to a trawler hull design, and is capable of remaining at sea for up to 14 days in poor weather conditions if required. Powered by a 660Hp Lister Blackstone, the Clupea is extremely economical both during transits and survey operations. The vessel carries a full crew of British seamen.

In addition to owning vessels, IDP Marine provides clients with Marine Coordination Services. The IDP management team have in excess of 50 years’ experience in the operation of vessels, and can source, crew and safely operate multi-vessel spreads on behalf of clients requiring ship charters. Furthermore, IDP Marine has extensive experience locating a variety of marine platforms, including crew transfer vessels, towing vessels and jack-up barges. IDP Marine personnel undertake full International Safety Management of vessels under charter.

Agency services, including arrangement of bunkers, pilotage and berthing, as well as victualling and arrangement of travel and accommodation, may also be provided.
