Aker to build well intervention unit for Island Offshore

Aker Yards has signed a contract with fellow Norwegian company Island Offshore for the building of a well intervention unit.

The vessel will be based on the same design as ‘Island Wellserver’, delivered from Aker Yards earlier this year. The value of the contract is approximately US$240 million included equipment supplied by the owners. The well intervention unit is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2011. The new vessel will be based on the same design as ‘Island Wellserver’, upgraded with increased length, engine capacity, thrusters capacity and topside capacity. The vessel will measure 130.3 metres in overall length with a 25-metre moulded beam, and a depth to main deck midship of 11.2 metres. The well intervention unit will be of Rolls-Royce UT 767 CDL design, and will be built at Aker Yards in Norway.
