Wärtsilä awarded a major contract to design six offshore oilfield ships for Chinese COSL
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 19 December 2012 at 10 am EET
Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, has
signed a contract with China Oilfield Services Ltd (COSL) to supply the designs
for a total of six new ships. The two Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) and four
Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels will initially provide support
operations in the South China Sea and Bohai Bay. The contract was signed in
December 2012.
The PSVs are based on Wärtsilä Ship Design's well proven VS 485 PSV MKIII design
that offers a highly energy and environmentally efficient vessel solution with
an optimised hull design for greater efficiency, with corresponding reduced
emission to air. The AHTS vessels are to be constructed according to the
Wärtsilä Ship Design VS 4612 AHTS design. The primary function of AHTS vessels
is to set anchors for drilling rigs, and tow mobile drilling rigs from one
location to another. Since the sea and weather conditions in which these ships
work is often extremely challenging, a design that offers reliability and high
levels of efficiency and performance is called for.
"We have enjoyed many years of close co-operation with both COSL and its parent
company, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, and they are very familiar
with Wärtsilä's broad range of solutions, including our ship designs, propulsion
machinery, automation and control systems, and our environmental compliance
solutions. Our values are also very much aligned, with both companies
emphasising total lifecycle costs, energy efficiency, and environmental
sustainability," says Riku-Pekka Hägg, Vice President, Wärtsilä Ship Design.
Wärtsilä Ship Design's range of ship designs and design services is backed by
its strong global presence. The broad offering includes simple, low cost, proven
standard designs, often with a full equipment package, and advanced, customized
designs based upon client integrated project development.
