Global offshore and marine consulting firm Noble Denton, UK, has secured a major contract to carry out detailed design work for a new elevated support vessel.
The deal with Gulf Marine Services in Abu Dhabi, is worth approximately US$3.5 million and involves the preparation of a design package and license for a multi-purpose self-propelled jack-up vessel, the ‘Gusto MSC NG-2500X’. The full detailed engineering work will be carried out by the company’s subsidiary ODL from its Sharjah base and work on the primary structure is already underway. The contract is a contributory factor in Noble Denton’s expansion in Sharjah where employee numbers will grow to 100 this year. The NG-2500X is designed to perform field moves and jacking operations without tug assistance. The current design is intended for well services, repair and maintenance, installation and decommissioning projects. It has accommodation for 150 personnel, has a 280-tonne crane and can operate in 60 metres of water. The unit will be built in compliance with ABS regulations and Panama Flag and to full North Sea specifications. Hull construction will take place in China and will take approximately nine months to finish. The vessel will then be completed in the UAE at GMS own facility.
