Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 28 August 2013 at 12 noon EET
Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, has
received a significant order to supply the propulsion solutions for six new
offshore pipe laying vessels being built by IHC Merwede, a global leader in
delivering efficient vessels and equipment. Three of the ships are to be built
for Subsea 7, the seabed-to-surface engineering, construction, and services
contractor to the offshore energy industry. The other three vessels have been
ordered by Seabras Sapura, the Sapura Kencana and Seadrill partnership entity.
All six vessels are scheduled to be delivered during the first half of 2015 and
the second half of 2016. They will be deployed to serve the Brazilian offshore
market by Petrobras, the multi-national energy corporation. Wärtsilä signed its
supply order for the first vessel in the second quarter of 2013, and the
remaining orders in the third quarter. The scope of supply for each ship
comprises six 8-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 engines, two transverse thrusters, two
retractable thrusters, and three steerable underwater de-mountable thrusters.
Wärtsilä's ability to secure easy and quick changing of the underwater de-
mountable thrusters was especially important to the customer.
The contracts call for a tight delivery schedule, and Wärtsilä's ability to meet
this requirement with equipment and machinery that provide the necessary
quality, reliability and efficiency, was another key factor in the award of the
contracts. Wärtsilä will begin deliveries already in February 2014, with further
deliveries following at four month intervals.
"These are very important orders that underscore Wärtsilä's outstanding
reputation for serving the offshore sector with solutions that meet the most
demanding expectations. The delivery schedule is challenging, but we have
frequently demonstrated that our world class manufacturing and logistics
processes can handle fast-track projects such as these," says Mr Aaron
Bresnahan, Vice President Sales, Wärtsilä Ship Power.
Both Subsea 7 and Sapura Kencana already have vessels with similar Wärtsilä
equipment installed, and Wärtsilä has enjoyed a long-standing and successful
relationship with IHC Merwede. Furthermore, for Subsea7, Wärtsilä has an
existing worldwide services and spare parts contract.
Wärtsilä's scope of delivery per shipset:
2 x Transverse thruster FT300H-D
2 x Retractable thruster FS1510/MNR
3 x Steerable underwater demountable thruster FS2510/NU
6 x 8-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 engines
