MacGregor electric mooring systems specified for new Mermaid tender rigs
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 14 OCTOBER 2014 AT 9.30 AM (EEST)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has won new contracts that will see electrically-
driven versions of its mooring systems fitted to two new tender assist drilling
rigs for Thailand-based Mermaid Maritime Public Company Limited. The Self-
Erected Drilling Tender (Hull No. CMHI (JS)-151-1 and Hull No. CMHI (JS)-151-2)
are under construction at China Merchants Heavy Industry (Jiangsu) Co Ltd with
delivery planned for 2016. The order was booked into third quarter 2014 order
intake.
MacGregor will provide each rig with an electrically-driven eight-point mooring
system with a 95-tonne line pull, a 460-tonne brake holding capacity and a
1,400m x 64mm diameter wire drum capacity. MacGregor equipment deliveries are
scheduled for June 2015.
"The electric winches have variable frequency drives, which consume around 20 to
30 per cent less energy when compared to hydraulically-driven winches," notes
Francis Wong, Vice President, Segment Sales, MacGregor Offshore. "This advantage
will significantly reduce the carbon footprint and bring down the initial
installation and operation cost."
"MacGregor can offer comprehensive equipment packages for all types of
specialist offshore units," he adds. "Our portfolio for mobile drilling units
has been strengthened with the addition of the Pusnes products."
