​Rapidly Transform an Existing Vessel into a Capable Subsea Intervention Asset

​

Thrust Maritime's fully electric Active Heave Compensation (AHC) Winch Rental provides a flexible, cost-effective solution for offshore and subsea operations. Designed to support subsea intervention, ROV launch and recovery, decommissioning, inspection, and maintenance campaigns, the system enables operators to safely deploy equipment from existing offshore support vessels without the cost, lead times, or availability constraints associated with specialist construction vessels.

​

Engineered for rapid mobilisation and reliable offshore performance, the AHC winch delivers precise active heave compensation across a wide range of vessel types, including platform supply vessels (PSVs), anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS), and other vessels of opportunity. By enhancing existing vessel capabilities, operators can reduce campaign costs, improve operational flexibility, and carry out safe, efficient launch and recovery operations in challenging offshore environments. Available for short, medium, and long-term rental, the system is a proven solution for offshore energy, subsea construction, and decommissioning projects throughout Australia and beyond.
