Built in 2008 by the esteemed Bollinger Shipyards Inc in the USA, this versatile Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) boasts an array of advanced features tailored for optimal performance and efficiency. The vessel is equipped with a state-of-the-art DPII dynamic positioning system, ensuring precision and stability in various operational conditions. Safety is paramount, with advanced firefighting systems, including FIFI1 and FRC, on board.
The PSV is powered by a highly efficient diesel-electric propulsion system, which significantly reduces fuel consumption compared to conventional direct drive systems, thereby minimizing environmental impact and operational costs. The vessel’s dimensions are substantial, with an overall length of 68.50 meters, a beam of 14.00 meters, and a depth of 5.50 meters. The expansive deck area of 5,400 square feet (500 square meters) provides ample space for cargo operations.
Designed for high capacity and efficiency, the vessel features liquid mud tanks with a total capacity of 954 cubic meters. These tanks are oval-shaped and equipped with a self-cleaning system, ensuring maximum circulation and cost-effective maintenance compared to traditional square tanks. Additionally, the vessel has dry bulk storage capabilities of 5,500 cubic feet (156 cubic meters) across four tanks.
Currently operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), the vessel is scheduled to become available in October 2024, coinciding with its next drydock period. Owners are considering offers around US$10 million. This PSV is also part of a fleet operating in the spot market in the North Sea, UK, where it can be inspected with minimal fuss.
The environmentally friendly diesel-electric propulsion not only reduces fuel consumption but also produces significantly less pollution, aligning with modern ecological standards. Capable of maintaining a speed of 13 knots when fully loaded, this vessel is up to 20% faster than most existing vessels of comparable size. With liquid mud tank capacity and delivery capabilities typically found only in much larger vessels, this PSV offers superior performance and efficiency for a wide range of maritime operations.
