New-generation vessels designed for improved motions, faster transit speeds

摘要

Installation contractors have invested heavily in recent years to augment their vessel fleets. Although the pace of field development has slowed, the new tonnage will be welcome in areas short of advanced offshore construction capability such as Asia and Australasia.rnGustoMSC in Rotterdam has produced designs for two new vessels currently under construction for Seaway Heavy Lifting and China Offshore Engineering Co. (COOEC). The company's involvement in this sector dates back to the 1960s, when it delivered heavy-duty offshore cranes for barges converted into installation ships.
