Wärtsilä to supply ship design for new type deep water dive support vessel
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 17 February 2016 at 9.30 am EET
Wärtsilä has signed a contract with Shanghai Bestway Marine Engineering Design
Co Ltd to design a new type of deep water dive support vessel. The ship is to be
built for China state-owned Shanghai Salvage Bureau (SSB), one of the largest
professional salvage companies in China. The contract with Wärtsilä was signed
in January.
The Wärtsilä design features a unique combination of capabilities, including
deep water (6000 metres) salvage operations, deep water pipe laying and
construction work, and saturation (SAT) diving operations for 24 divers using
two diving bells. SAT diving is a technique that allows divers to reduce the
risk of decompression sickness when working at great depths for extended periods
of time. All the design features are based on a single platform operating with
DP3, the highest class of Dynamic Positioning. When built, this will be the
world's first SAT diving support vessel with Multi-Lay and ultra deep water
construction capabilities.
"For a complex vessel design such as this involving the needed sub-sea
equipment, both extensive experience and broad know-how are absolutely
essential. Wärtsilä was selected because of our strengths in both these areas.
This contract highlights once again the value of the proven, sophisticated, and
integrated system designs that Wärtsilä produces for the global marine market,"
says Riku-Pekka Hägg, Vice President, Ship Design, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
"The new vessel will certainly be the most sophisticated asset in our fleet. It
will carry out operations in very deep waters and in often difficult conditions.
We believe the Wärtsilä design will meet all our requirements for successful
operations," says Mr Huang Yan, Director of Deep Diving Technology Development
Center, SSB.
Wärtsilä has proven experience and an impressive track record in designing
similar vessels of this type. The contract with SSB covers initial and basic
design of the ship, meaning that class and flag authority related drawings for
the purpose of finalising the necessary approvals and certifications, will be
supplied. Wärtsilä will also provide the basic references for future, more
detailed engineering requirements for building the vessel.

ship designs is to achieve innovative, cost effective, and environmentally

profile of the vessel.
