The vessel is sister to the SBS Nimbus, SBS Stratus, SBS Tempest and SBS Typhoon having been designed by Vik-Sandvik of Norway.
Safety for the crew of the vessel is of utmost importance, with this in mind, the SBS Torrent has been designed with a well deck arrangement.
Station keeping when discharging at the installation in marginal weather conditions presents special problems for platformsupplyvessels in particular, when thrusters and main propulsion systems are either slow to respond or underpowered.
Platformsupplyvessels: (mainly ships to supply and assist oil rigs), Commonly used criteria are: deadweight, cargo tank volume, speed, bollard pull, max.
Monohulls accomplish this by transitioning from a displacement-mode where the entire weight of the vessel is supported by the force of the water displaced by the hull (see Archimedes) to a dynamic lift mode where only part of the vessel is supported by the static force of the water displaced.
On smaller vessels designed for cruising (as opposed to racing) the ability to smoothly handle rough seas and (particularly in sailing vessels) stormy wind conditions without imposing extreme pilot skills or attention is highly desired.
