The Offshore Vessel That Redefines Standards in the Maritime Sector
The SISTAC Esperança is an offshore vessel built to meet the most diverse challenges of maritime operations. Part of the SISTAC fleet, the Esperança is a benchmark in terms of efficiency, technology and safety. Developed to support complex operations in the oil and gas sector, this vessel offers a robust and flexible platform for activities such as diving, ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) support, and other subsea tasks.
As an offshore vessel, the SISTAC Esperança was designed to handle a wide range of operations, ensuring that the crew has a safe and efficient working environment, regardless of the adverse conditions they may encounter at sea. Its ability to operate for long periods and its infrastructure designed to support the demands of the offshore sector make it an ideal choice for oil, gas and energy companies.

Technical Characteristics of the SISTAC Esperança Offshore Vessel
The SISTAC Esperança is a vessel built with a focus on performance, safety and durability. Its robust structure and the use of high-quality materials ensure that it can withstand long-term offshore operations, maintaining structural integrity and operational efficiency.
Here are some of the main technical specifications of the SISTAC Esperança:
- Total Length: 27,350 mm
- Length between perpendiculars: 23,385 mm
- Molded Mouth: 6,420 mm
- Headroom: 1,340 mm
- Draft: 3,200 mm
Built with high-strength aluminum (5083 H116), the vessel is lightweight yet extremely corrosion-resistant, which is essential for operations in salt water and harsh marine environments. The lightness of aluminum, combined with its durability, allows the SISTAC Esperança to operate with greater fuel efficiency while maintaining the strength needed to withstand the harsh conditions that are common in offshore operations.
In addition, the vessel has a general layout that facilitates access to the main systems and compartments, ensuring that maintenance can be carried out quickly without compromising operational performance.
SISTAC Esperança Power and Propulsion System
The SISTAC Esperança is equipped with an advanced propulsion system, which provides excellent maneuverability, even in difficult-to-access areas. The Hamilton waterjet system provides precise control of the vessel, which is crucial for operations that require precise positioning, such as diving support and ROV operations. This system also provides smoother navigation, reducing vibration and improving crew comfort.
The waterjet offers several advantages over conventional propulsion systems, including greater fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact. It also improves the vessel’s ability to operate in shallow waters, which is essential for certain offshore operations that require precision in approaching platforms or subsea infrastructure.
Compliance with Offshore Safety Standards
Safety is a top priority for SISTAC, and SISTAC Esperança is no exception. The vessel has been designed to meet all national and international safety standards, ensuring crew protection and compliance with regulatory requirements. She is equipped with a variety of safety systems, including:
Life Rafts
Self-inflatable, with capacity to accommodate the entire crew and passengers in case of emergency.
Lifebuoys and Vests
Complies with NORMAM standards, ensuring that everyone on board has quick access to safety equipment.
Fire Fighting Systems
CO2 and foam extinguishers strategically located throughout the vessel, as well as fire detection systems in critical areas.
In addition to these systems, SISTAC Esperança also has well-located and signposted emergency exits, ensuring that, in the event of any incident, the crew can evacuate the vessel safely and efficiently.
Diving Support Equipment
SISTAC Esperança was specifically designed to support subsea operations, including diving and ROV. It has a wide range of specialized equipment for these activities, making it an ideal choice for companies that need to perform inspections, maintenance and repairs on subsea infrastructure.
- Oxygen Cylinders: Equipped with oxygen supply systems to support divers.
- Hyperbaric Chambers: Essential to ensure the safety of divers after operations at great depths.
This equipment ensures that SISTAC Esperança can carry out a wide range of subsea activities, from diving operations to supporting remotely operated vehicles, which are essential for inspections of subsea infrastructure.
