Successful tests for largest davit ever built

摘要

All davits for BP's JIGSAW project are to he supplied by Bergen-based Vestdavit AS - in particular, the largest davit ever built. This project is a totally new concept for offshore rescue and recovery operations in the North Sea, and the first ships are currently under construction. BP is building four regional support vessels, each carrying two autonomous rescue and recovery craft (ARRC) and two fast rescue craft (FRC). Vestdavit has been contracted to deliver eight large two-point davits for the ARRCs and eight single-point telescopic davits for the FRCs.
