SBF Shipbuilders in Freemont, Australia, handed over the 'Tenggara Explorer', a custom-built, Cat-powered, multi-purpose surveillance vessel to Asia Tenggara Marine.
'Tenggara Explorer' is now on charter to PT Newmont Nusâ Tenggara, part of the international mining company Newmont Mining, providing environmental support for their copper-gold mining operations on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. The vessel is powered by twin Cat C18 marine engines, each of which have heavy-duty rating of 448kW. Top speed is 15 knots, although 'Tenggara Explorer' will generally operate at lower speeds. Two bow thrusters help maintain station when the vessel holds position. On-board power is supplied by a Cat C2.2 generating set, providing 30.5 WA at 50 Hz. This will be used mainly for environmental purposes, including ROV underwater inspection of the pipeline running from the Sumbawa mine out to sea.
