Rolls-Royce to design and equip specialist vessel

Rolls-Royce Marine, UK, has won a US$34.15 million follow-up order to design and equip a specialist well intervention vessel.

The latest order, from Norway-based Island Offshore, follows the successful delivery of the first well intervention vessel, ‘Island Wellserver’, in March this year. The new 130 metre-long UT 767CDL vessel, which will drill in ultra deep waters, offers single cabins for 97 crewmembers. As with the UT 767CD 'Island Wellserver', the vessel meets cruise ship standards for noise and vibration. The vessel, to be delivered in 2011, will be built at Aker Yards, Langsten, Norway. In addition to design, Rolls-Royce will also deliver four main engines, propulsion, deck machinery and automation systems.
