Dutch design office Ulstein Sea of Solution has designed a new vessel capable of combining three offshore operating functions into one design.
The vessel, ordered by Romanian contractor GSP Drilling will be built at the Keppel Singmarine facility in Singapore, and will be able to carry out pipelay, heavy lift and tender assist drilling operations. ‘GSP Titan’ measures 161.5 metes long on a moulded beam of 37.8 metres. A total of six powerful 4,300kW engines give the vessel a transit speed of 13 knots. The vessel will be delivered in August 2011, and will be the first large pipelay / heavy lift vessel in the world that will be propelled by three Voith Schneider Propellers on the aft, which will also be used for roll damping. The customized 1,800-tonne Huisman heavy lift mast crane has been lowered and integrated in the starboard aft side enabling the vessel to pass Istanbul Strait underneath the Bosphorus bridge to enter the Black Sea.
