This DP 2 UT 755 LN Platform Supply Vessel, built by STX Europe in Aukra, Norway in 2009, is a versatile and robust vessel designed for a wide range of offshore operations. Classified by RINA and equipped with the DYNAPOS DP2 dynamic positioning system, this vessel is well-suited for operations in demanding environments, including those requiring precise station-keeping.
Measuring 73.6 meters in length overall (LOA), with a molded breadth of 16 meters and a molded depth of 7.6 meters, the vessel has a maximum draft of 5.87 meters and a minimum draft of 3.9 meters, making it adaptable to different operating conditions. The vessel boasts a gross tonnage (GRT) of 2,180 tons and a net tonnage (NRT) of 1,074 tons, with a deadweight capacity of 3,270 metric tons. These dimensions allow for significant cargo carrying capacity while maintaining the stability and maneuverability required for offshore supply tasks.
Powering the vessel are two main engines, each generating 2,690 BHP, for a total of 5,380 BHP. This engine configuration is complemented by two 800 BHP bow thrusters and two 800 BHP stern thrusters, providing exceptional maneuverability and dynamic positioning capabilities. The vessel also features two controllable pitch (CP) propellers, contributing to efficient and reliable propulsion, and is equipped with two 8-ton capstans and a 3-ton deck crane that can extend to 16 meters, allowing for versatile cargo handling operations. In addition, two 10-ton tugger winches provide enhanced support for various offshore tasks.
The vessel offers a spacious deck area of 702 square meters, with a deck load capacity of 1,600 tons and a deck strength of 5 tons per square meter. These features, combined with multiple tank capacities—ranging from fuel oil (1,215 m³) to potable water (840 m³), drill water/ballast (1,357 m³), and oil-based mud (3,113 bbls)—make the vessel an ideal choice for offshore supply, storage, and transportation.
Equipped with modern communications and navigation systems, the vessel ensures reliable performance even in remote offshore locations. The GMDSS A3 system includes MF/HF transmitter/receivers, Inmarsat C, and VHF radios, ensuring global communication capability. The navigation suite includes ARPA radar, DGPS, GPS, and a Doppler speed log, providing real-time positioning and navigation data, essential for maintaining precise operations.
The vessel’s accommodation facilities are designed for crew comfort and operational efficiency, with 10 single cabins, 5 double cabins, a gym, and a hospital. These amenities ensure that the crew can perform extended offshore operations while maintaining high standards of living.
With its exceptional load capacities, advanced DP2 dynamic positioning system, and extensive deck area, this vessel is perfectly suited for various offshore tasks, including supply duties, firefighting, and transport of hazardous materials. It provides both the versatility and reliability needed to perform in some of the most challenging offshore environments.
