Keppel Singmarine has secured a US$132.86 million contract to build a multi-purpose heavylift / pipelay vessel for Romanian drilling contractor, Grup Servicii Petroliere.
GSP is a member of the Upetrom Group, a privately-owned company. Headquartered in Constanta Harbour, Romania, GSP is a regional leader in offshore drilling, providing a wide range of offshore drilling and drilling connected services, engineering solutions and technical consultancy. To be classed by the American Bureau of Shipping, the vessel will be designed and built to meet international environmental standards. The vessel will be certified with the new Environmental Safety notation, which provides stringent guidelines on preventing pollution, minimizing the discharge of harmful substances and emissions, and the treatment of sewage, among others. Well-suited for unrestricted service worldwide, GSP’s new vessel is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2011, and will be deployed to the Black Sea and Mediterranean regions. With accommodation for up to 290 persons, the heavylift / pipelay vessel will be equipped with three offshore cranes, the largest of which has a lifting capacity of 1,800 tonnes, and it will be fitted with a ten-point mooring anchor system. The machinery systems onboard will include three units of Voith Schneider propellers for main propulsion, five retractable azimuth thrusters for positioning, and a Class 3 certified dynamic positioning system.
