High-capacity vessel launched in Barents Sea

摘要

The vessel will undertake exploration in frontier areas that were previously considered off-limits to exploration. With the goal of having the newest and most powerful seismic fleet in the industry, Dolphin Geophysical recently announced the launch of the Polar Empress, giving the company six high-capacity 3-D vessels as well as a 2-D vessel intended for Arctic exploration. The vessel, currently at work on a multiclient survey in the Barents Sea, is a purpose-built vessel with the capacity to operate up to 22 streamers, a total installed engine capacity of 22,800 KW, a bollard pull of more than 275 tons and a top transit speed of more than 20 knots. In its current survey, the Maud Extension multiclient survey, it is pulling 14 streamers.
