Wärtsilä integrated solution selected for new offshore jack-up barges
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 13 March 2015 at 10 am EET
Two new jack-up barges ordered by the National Petroleum Construction Company
(NPCC), based in the United Arab Emirates, will feature fully integrated
Wärtsilä power generation and electrical and automation (E&A) solutions. The SEP
650 and SEP 750 vessels are being built at the Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries
(ZPMC) shipyard in Chang Xing Island, China. The contract with Wärtsilä was
signed in December 2014.
For each vessel Wärtsilä will supply three 8-cylinder Wärtsilä 20 generating
sets, an emergency generating set and the full E&A system. The integrated
solution from a single source optimises the operating efficiency of the vessels
while reducing delivery risks for the yard. The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled
to be delivered in summer 2015.
"Wärtsilä's comprehensive portfolio of solutions enables this kind of
integration, which benefits the operation of the vessel in terms of efficiency
and helps the yard reduce its scheduling risks. We are pleased to work once
again in cooperation with both NPCC and ZPMC in developing world class solutions
for the offshore market," says Mr Hans Laheij, Area Sales Director, Wärtsilä
Ship Power.
Wärtsilä has earlier supplied the complete electrical systems, including the
generating sets, transformers and full E&A requirements for NPCC's SEP 450 and
SEP 550 jack-up barges. This same scope of supply has again been ordered from
Wärtsilä for the SEP 650 and SEP 750 vessels.
NPCC is a major provider of engineering, procurement, and construction solutions
to both the offshore and onshore oil and gas industries. The new jack-up barges
will supplement NPCC's fleet of offshore vessels supporting its shallow and deep
water operations.
