Sembawang Shipyard has secured a S$100 million (US$73.64 million) contract from Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering (DEME) to construct a 19,000-tonne DP2 fallpipe vessel for its subsidiary company, Tideway in Singapore.
Tideway specializes in offshore dredging, landfall construction and pipeline stabilization works through the operation of, amongst others, fallpipe rock dumping vessels. A fallpipe vessel is a very specialized vessel consisting of a hold in which graded rock is stocked, and a "fallpipe", at the lower end controlled by a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV), which places the graded rock material at an exact location. Offshore rock placement is applied mostly to stabilize and protect cables, pipelines and flow lines. The vessel will be classed with Lloyd's Register and will also comply with Lloyd's Environment Protection Code whereby NOx emissions will be largely minimized. The vessel is scheduled to be delivered in January 2011 for deployment worldwide and will be Tideway's biggest fallpipe vessel.
