Latest Technip vessel prepares for sea trials
July 28, 2014 + + +
Technip’s latest subsea construction vessel has been officially named the
North Sea Atlantic, following a ceremony staged by the vessel’s owner at
the NorYards shipyard in Laksevåg. In 2012 Technip signed a long-term
charter agreement with North Sea Shipping for the newbuild vessel, which
is designed to Technip’s specifications to perform pipelay, subsea
construction and inspection, repair, and maintenance. Although it will
work mainly in the North Sea, it is also suited for deepwater operations
worldwide.
The DP-3 vessel is equipped with a 550-metric
ton (606-ton) heave-compensated crane and a 2,000-metric ton (2,204-ton)
underdeck carousel for product storage. It can accommodate an openable
vertical lay system for installing flexibles and umbilicals. Following
final commissioning and trials, the vessel should start working in the
Norwegian North Sea from August onward, followed by projects in the UK
North Sea.
Technip operates one of the best-in-class
fleets of subsea pipelay and subsea construction vessels. To strengthen
the Group's presence on the high-growth subsea market and respond to a
demand which is evolving towards developments requiring high technological
added-value at increasing water depths, Technip has recently announced
major investments in state-of-the-art vessels as part of its fleet
development strategy.
The Technip fleet currently counts 21 vessels
with an additional 9 currently under construction.
