Offshore Vessels

 

 

 
Wind Turbine Installation Ship, Swire Blue Ocean
The vessel, which is a self-elevating self-propelled wind turbine installation/offshore support vessel designed for Swire Blue Ocean, Denmark, is under construction at Samsung Geoje Shipyard to be delivered in the summer of 2012.
The vessel is equipped with 6 truss-type legs and a high-speed rack-and-pinion jacking system, and it is able to jack to a safe height of 22 m above the sea surface on 75 m water depth, where it can survive even the most severe storm conditions.
The 1200 t leg-mounted main crane is capable of installing 500 t heavy nacelles on top of turbine towers 120 m above the sea, and the 4300 m2 heavy-duty cargo deck has space for up to twelve 3.6 MW turbines.
The relatively fine lines in the bow gives the vessel a good speed even in high waves and the 4 bow thrusters in combination with the DP-2 dynamic positioning system gives it state of the art maneuverability.
The accommodation holds 111 crew single berth cabins with private bathrooms and all necessary facilities and offices.
 
 

 
 
Mayflower Resolution
The vessel is designed in close co-operation between Mayflower Energy and Knud E. Hansen A/S. The vessel was built at Shanhaiguan Shipyard (SHG), Chenwei, China. It is a Turbine Installation Vessel (TIV) capable of transporting offshore wind turbines to the wind farm site from ashore by its own power. The vessel is transitioning from the afloat condition to an elevated construction mode when installing the turbine structure with its own onboard crane. These operations are carried out without assistance from other vessels.
 
  
 
 
 
Poseidon, Floating Power Plant
”Poseidon” is a concept invented by the Danish company “Floating Power Plant”. The plant consists as a floating wave energy converter that also acts as a floating foundation for wind turbines.
A demonstration and test plant “P37” in scale 1:4 was launched in the autumn 2008 and is moored within an existing wind turbine farm in Denmark.
The plant transforms wave energy into electricity through hinged floats, piston pumps and a water turbine. However, a system for direct energy conversion where the floats are driving generators through a mechanical system is about to be tested.
 
 
 
 

 
BP Skarv

The vessel is designed for BP Norway on behalf of the Skarv-Idun licenses. The hull is under construction at Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea. The Skarv vessel is a PFSO and will be operating at the The Skarv and Idun development located in the Norwegian Continental Shelf, ap. 200 km west of Sandnessjøen, between the Norne field (35 km to the north) and Heidrun (45 km to the south) in water depths between 350 and 450 m.

 
 
   
CSO Constructor
The vessel was designed for Stena Offshore, Sweden. The vessel was built at Öresundsvarvet, Sweden and delivered in June 1980. The vessel and the three sister vessels are operated by Coflexip Stena Offshore in France. The vessels are highly advanced offshore support and diving vessels.

 

 

 
CSO Seawell
The vessel was designed for Stena Offshore, Sweden. The vessel and sister vessel were built at North East Shipbuilders in Sunderland, United Kingdom (Yard no. 275). The vessels are operated by Coflexip Stena Offshore in France. The vessels are two of the most advanced and flexible offshore support vessels designed and built to date and include large diving and crane facilities.
