Marin Teknikk has secured a new large contract for an advanced Dive Support & Constr. vessel for Ultra Deep Charter

MT6023 DSCV is an advanced Diving & Construction Vessel developed for demanding operations worldwide. The vessel will have a length of 111.58 meters and a breadth of 23 meters, top class accommodation for 120 persons, two cranes, a 150 T offshore crane with depth capability to 3000 m water depth, and one 10 T crane for operation down to 300m. In addition, arrangement for 2 WROV’s (unmanned remote operated submarines/robots) for operations down to 3000 meters ocean depth.

The vessels are to be built by China Merchants Heavy Industry (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (CMHI), in China, and 1st vessel will be ready for delivery in mid of 2017, 2nd vessel end 2017 and 3rd vessel in mid of 2018. (The 2nd and 3rd vessel are optional contracts).

Marin Teknikk has designed a new cost efficient and functional Diving Support & Construction vessel with high focus on safety for the crew/divers and operability. The vessels are following up designing environment-friendly, modern and advanced multifunctional offshore diving support construction vessels. The vessel’s 1,000m² open work deck area with deck strength of 10 ton/m² and a smaller storage area on top of dive hangar, creates a good platform for transport of equipment and tools to and from oil- and subsea fields, prepared for world‐wide operations in the less deep and ultra-deep oil and gas sector projects.

The vessel will be built according to Det Norske Veritas GL class; DNV GL + 1A1, EO, SPS, DYNPOS AUTR, DK(+), HELDK-SH, COMF-V(3), CLEAN DESIGN, DSV-SAT, DSV SURFACE, CRANE, ICE C, NAUT-OSV(A), BWM-T, REYCYCLABLE

“We are very pleased to design another series of great DSV’s for UDS and sign another contract with CMHI”, states Sales Director of Marin Teknikk, Richard Gjerde. “We have been working close with UDS the last 1 ½ year to develop one of the largest and advanced DP3 diving vessels, MT6027 in the offshore industry, under construction at ZPMC. This contract with the medium size MT6023 design, , we have worked on for a few months, shows again MT’s strong position in the OSV market and that we are among the world’s leading designers of advanced diving & construction vessels”.

This marks another important milestone in the history of Ultra Deep Solutions, in line with the company’s strategic plan to spearhead the development and operation of efficient, cost-effective diving and support vessels in the oil and gas industry.
With the partnership and cooperation of China Merchants Heavy Industries (CMHI), these Diving Support Vessels will be constructed with a target completion in 2017/2018. China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI), incorporated since 1997, one of the largest shipyards in China, has a successful track of record of delivering offshore rigs and vessels for the oil and gas industry. CMHI is currently building 2 Diving Support Vessels of MT6024 design, due for delivery in 2016/2017, which makes CMHI one of the most experienced Chinese shipyard to construct these complex vessels for UDS.

The custom-designed DP2 MT6023 DSCV vessel, classed under Det Norsk Veritas (DNV), is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which allows the vessel to operate in unrestricted waters for subsea support works. She is also equipped with a heave compensated 150T crane (depth of 3000m), a 18-men saturation system with single 18-men SPHL up to a depth of 300m (optional with twin bell), and WROV with LARS system.

The delivery of these vessels is ideally positioned for the uptrend in the subsea sector of the oil and gas industry in 2017/2018. Mr Shel Hutton, Chairman of UDS, said “I am pleased by the positive response by oil majors and major diving companies to the design of our diving support vessels, and it affirms our company is heading in the right direction to build quality and size-appropriate vessels catered for the market. The current slowdown in the market allows us time to ensure our designs are optimized and customized for relevance in the oil and gas industry. I am thankful to our partners, and supporters, especially MT, DNV, and CMHI, who have supported the company’s vision, and realizing our plans to build these vessels.”
