In brief
Spirit is a cable laying vessel (CLV). She is owned by Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. She is a Bureau Veritas Hull Mach AUT UMS Dynapos AM/AT R Special Service Workboat Class.
The vessel has a six-point mooring system (using her DP2 system). The vessel can also be beached, allowing her to do cable work onshore, she uses the Hi-plough, which is the latest in marine technology, allowing a deeper burial for the cable.
The Spirit has been used in a number of wind farm projects in the United Kingdom since 2010, the first of the offshore wind farms was Walney Wind Farm, which is separated into two units, Walney 1 + 2, also there was the London Array and West of Duddon Sands. The Spirit beached approximately 750 metres (2,460 ft) south of Heysham Port to lay the export cable for DONG Energy (26 & 27 June 2010). The export cable was pulled ashore in a joint effort between VolkerInfra, CM&I Marine and VBMS.
In 2013 the vessel was featured in a season 7 episode of the Canadian TV documentary series Mighty Ships.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 5,551 gross tons, Spirit is the 43,011th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,423 offshore supplys held here, it ranks 118th by tonnage — larger than 91% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,061 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 4,961 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (283 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is North American Shipbuilding, with 55 hulls on record.
Cyprus is the country of registry for 1,418 vessels in this directory, of which Spirit is the 1,022nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (915 ships), and the median vessel measures 15,666 GT. Browse every ship flagged Cyprus.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 8 offshore supplys flying the Cyprus flag, of which none is larger than Spirit.
Spirit was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 2,023rd largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
At 90.0 m overall, Spirit is 22.9 m longer than the 67.1 m median for offshore supplys on record, with a beam of 28.0 m and a draft of 3.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9496458 this registry holds 49 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2008 to 2015. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.
Its IMO number, 9496458, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 9×5 + 6×4 + 4×3 + 5×2 = 178 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
