Wärtsilä to provide integrated power, propulsion and positioning system for DP3 offshore rig in China
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 17 April 2013 at 10 am EET
Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, will
supply a comprehensive, fully integrated power, propulsion and positioning
system for a DP3 Dynamically Positioned offshore accommodation rig being built
in China. The contract was signed in January with Cosco (Qidong) Offshore Co.
Ltd, the yard building the vessel for Singapore based Axis Offshore.
The vessel, equipped with DP3 dynamic positioning system, will feature an
integrated Wärtsilä solution that includes the main power generation system, the
propulsion system, the electric and automation system and the automation safety
system.
Wärtsilä is responsible for engineering, delivery and commissioning of the
integrated solution and will also support the yard on-site during the
installation phase. The vessel is expected to enter into service in February
2015 for worldwide operations. Wärtsilä will begin deliveries of its equipment
in May 2013.
"By opting for a complete solution from a single supplier taking full
responsibility for integrating all the systems into an efficient, optimized
solution, the yards completion risks of this complex semisubmersible rig are
minimized and the owners can expect maximum efficiency with optimal lifecycle
costs," says Magnus Miemois, Vice President Wärtsilä Ship Power Solutions.
"Wärtsilä is proud to have been selected to supply this vessel with
comprehensive power and positioning systems, which is indicative of the
company's continued market share expansion in the offshore sector."
While the majority of the solution will be engineered and delivered from
Wärtsilä's delivery centres in Europe, Wärtsilä will mobilize a site management
team to the shipyard in Qidong, China, joining in close cooperation with the
COSCO project team.
