The offshore service vessel ‘Island Wellserver’, owned by the Norwegian company Island Offshore and built by Aker Yards, Langsten, was declared Ship of the Year 2008 by the Norwegian State Secretary Rikke Lind.
‘Island Wellserver’is a subsea riserless oil and gas well intervention vessel, and represent new technology in the offshore market. The ship also introduces new standards for working environment, safety and comfort, according to Ms Lind. The ship is a result of a vision that the subsea well intervention market should be served by a vessel, instead of a drilling rig, which so far has been the case. “The vessel is a masterpiece in Norwegian shipbuilding and reflects the high market demands in the booming sector of ship based light well intervention services,” said Ms Lind. Described as a subsea riserless well intervention vessel with a running wire line through a subsea lubricator system, she is equipped with the most advanced systems available. She will perform production logging, plugging and gauging operations, re-perforations and downhole mechanical works. Built to the highest DNV Comfort Class notation, she has a noise and vibration level similar to a modern cruise ship. This makes her the world’s only offshore vessel with DNV‘s highest Comfort Class, V(1) C(1).
