Helsinki: Wartsila Ship Design has received major orders from customers in China and India, including a Deepwater Engineering Survey Vessel design for China Oilfield Services Ltd.
This is a 105-metre, 4,300dwt vessel capable of drilling operating at deep water for geotechnical surveys and geophysical surveys: to date, most of China's oil exploration has been in relatively shallow waters, but there is now a need to probe deeper. In addition, the Chinese state-owned Shanghai Salvage Company has ordered a 123-metre Multi-Purpose Support Vessel design from Wärtsilä in order to carry out year-round tasks along the coastline of China. The key requirement is for multi-purpose flexibility since the vessel will be required to carry out a multitude of different operations, including salvage, offshore engineering services, diving and ROV operations, fire-fighting, anchor handling, ship supply, environmental protection, and route clearing. In India, a 110-metre, 4,500dwt Diving Support Vessel design has been ordered by India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), and will provide a stable platform for saturation and air-diving operations. The Wärtsilä Ship Design unit was set up recently following the acquisitions of the ship design companies Vik-Sandvik and Schiffko. The latest acquisition, the Singaporean based Conan Wu & Associates will also be part of the Ship Design unit.
