New Diving Support & Construction vessel for SBM Offshore

摘要

SBM Offshore have awarded a contract to Keppel Singmarine (Singapore) for the detailed design and construction of a multi-purpose Diving Support & Construction vessel. This investment is an important element of the company's strategy to grow offshore contracting activities within the turnkey services segment, adding to its fleet a modern vessel with high performance and reliability. The ship will be a MT-6024 design from Marin Teknikk in Norway and will be built to DNV rules and international regulations. It will have a class III DP system and be equipped with a fully integrated 12-man saturation diving system capable of operating in up to 300 metres of water depth. It will include a patented 'double-deck' concept which will provide a large storage/construction area on the upper deck while keeping the conventional main deck unobstructed for anchor handling equipment.
