Flexibility key for Maersk subsea support vessels

摘要

In 2014, Maersk Supply Service ordered four advanced subsea support vessels in a market very different to that of today. The driving concept behind the development of the Stingray-class subsea support vessels (SSVs) was to create a series of vessels that would be flexible, supporting a broad range of operational requirements while offering reliability, efficiency and economy. "When we started this project, it was very clear that these vessels would be operating for the next 20 years," explains Maersk Supply Service (MSS) head of technical organisation Peter Kragh Jacobsen. "Since we weren't building these vessels for a specific contract, we wanted to make them attractive for a wide range of work scopes."
