Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 17 June 2013 at 10 pm EET
Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, has
been awarded the contract by Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc., of Panama City,
Florida to supply an integrated solution for a new multipurpose support vessel
(MPSV) for Harvey Gulf International Marine, LLC (HGIM) of New Orleans. This
offshore vessel is the first in a series of three MPSVs being built for Harvey
Gulf. The Wärtsilä contract includes an option for the supply of equipment to
the remaining two vessels of the series.
Wärtsilä's scope of supply includes the engines, a turnkey installation of the
Wärtsilä Control & Communication Centre (3C) integrated bridge, navigation, and
communication control system, and the complete electrical and automation system.
Wärtsilä has also been contracted to fully integrate the supplied systems and to
further interface them with other onboard systems. Wärtsilä will also be
responsible for submission of the documentation required for classification
society approvals.
Included in the comprehensive solution is a long-term service agreement. The
five year service agreement covers six LNG fuelled offshore supply vessels and
up to three multipurpose support vessels, and includes all the Harvey Gulf
vessels that have recently been fitted with Wärtsilä equipment.
The multi-purpose support vessel will operate in the offshore oil fields of the
Gulf of Mexico, and will be owned and operated by Harvey Gulf. The ship is
expected to be operational before the end of 2015. It will have the ABS Guide's
Enviro + notation representing the vessel's compliance with the more stringent
criteria for environmental protection.
"Harvey Gulf is very pleased to continue the relationship with Wärtsilä for the
supply of their integrated solution for our first of its kind U.S. Flag Multi
Purpose Support Vessel. Wärtsilä has shown total commitment to the needs of
Harvey Gulf by means of support during the initial design, construction,
delivery and service agreements. Harvey Gulf looks forward to continuing this
relationship on future endeavors," commented Shane Guidry, CEO of Harvey Gulf
International Marine.
"Wärtsilä is unparalleled in being a total solutions provider to the marine
industry, and this important contract re-emphasises this fact. Our unique
combination of product solutions, leading technologies, and global experience as
a systems integrator enables us to optimize the operational, environmental and
economic performance of the vessel," says Magnus Miemois, Vice President
Wärtsilä Ship Power Solutions. Pete Jacobs, General Manager, Sales, Wärtsilä
Ship Power adds: "Wärtsilä is making a notable impact on the offshore market in
the Gulf of Mexico through its commitment to the region, its leading
technologies, the ability to supply fully integrated comprehensive solutions,

Wärtsilä is committed to providing the infrastructure and service support for
vessels operating in the offshore oil and gas fields of the Gulf of Mexico.
Additionally, Wärtsilä has stepped up its presence in the US marine market by
providing expanded scope and responsibilities to US yards, including total
system integrator role capability, site management, and site engineering
support.
Wärtsilä Electrical & Automation Systems
Wärtsilä offers a wide range of power distribution, -drives, and control &
monitoring equipment for vessels, including both individual products and
integrated solutions. The aim is the total optimization of the vessel with
reduced emissions, improved efficiency and significant fuel savings. Wärtsilä's
frequency converter technology has been specifically developed for the marine
and oil & gas markets, and provides the most compact solutions available.
