Offshore support vessel 'Superior Achiever' has been launched at the IHC Merwede Shipyard, IHC Krimpen Shipyard in Krimpen aan den IJssel, the Netherlands.
The vessel is being under construction for Superior Offshore International, Inc. based in Houston, USA. Before launching, the 'Superior Achiever' was named by Dutch minister of Economic Affairs, Mrs. Maria van der Hoeven. IHC Krimpen Shipyard based on the successful IHC Merwede Type 22 series of vessels has developed the ‘Superior Achiever’. In close cooperation with Superior Offshore International, Inc., this particular Type 22 has been enhanced. The vessel will be a fully dynamically positioned, multi role offshore support vessel for offshore support and construction operations worldwide. The 'Superior Achiever' features flexible and modular capacity saturation diving capability through a dedicated diving moonpool. One or two remote operated vehicles, launched over the side, can support sub-sea operations. For offshore construction a variety of cranes are available, such as a 160-tonnes crane, a 120/170-tonnes heave compensated crane, capable of handling 70 tonnes to a depth of 1,800 metres and a 24-tonnes man-riding crane. 'Superior Achiever' is the first ship after re-opening the shipyard, late 2006.
