Sealion Shipping : PRESS RELEASE 11th February 2013
Sealion Shipping Ltd, on behalf of Toisa Ltd, is pleased to announce that an order has been placed
with Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for the construction of a large, Multipurpose Offshore
Construction Vessel (MOCV) a customised version of the ULSTEIN Deepwater Enabler design.
The DP 3 vessel is designed and equipped for world‐wide operations in the oil and gas sector, ultra
deepwater installation and construction, flexible lay, pipelay, cable lay and topside construction
support, and will be built to the highest standards and with maximum flexibility and capability
prioritised.
Outline specification :
LOA : 150.5 metres
Beam : 32.0 metres
Depth moulded : 13.3 metres
Design : Sealion/ Ulstein ‘’ X Bow’’ MOCV
(customised version of Deepwater Enabler design)
Class : DNV
DP : DNV / IMO Class 3
Accommodation : 250 beds
Deck Area : Approx 2900m2
Deck strength : up to 50T/m2 in key areas.
ROV Hangar:
Enclosed hangar suitable for deployment of 2 x Large Work Class ROVs
Overside port or starboard, or through a centreline moonpool. Integral
ROV control rooms installed.
Cranes :
1 x 900 T SWL offshore crane, Active Heave Compensated, with 3500 metre subsea capability.
1 x 200 T SWL knuckle‐boom offshore crane, Active Heave compensated, with 2000 metre subsea capability.
2 x 20 T deck cranes
Optional feature:
Ability to accommodate a 550 T flexlay tower above the main 8.4m x 8.4m moonpool
Ability to deploy a diving bell through separate centreline moonpool 4.2m x 3.9 m from deck mounted dive system.
(The vessel will deliver with all necessary interfaces to service both ROVs and saturation dive system)
Diesel‐electric Propulsion:
Six Diesel‐Electric generating sets (6 x 3,730 kW)
Thrusters:
Bow ‐ 2 x 2,500 kW tunnel thrusters
‐ 2 x 3,350 kW retractable azimuthing thruster
Stern Thrusters ‐ 3 x 3,350 kW Fixed Pitch azimuthing thruster
Trial Speed : 14.3 knots Bollard pull : about 260 T
Helideck : Maximum take‐off weight 15.6 T “D value” : 28.5 metres
This order further demonstrates Toisa’s commitment to the future of the deep water construction
markets. These are markets in which we already operate a number of modern vessels but where we
recognise that the future needs of the offshore industry cannot be fully met from the existing, and
aging, world fleet.
This large, capable, flexible unit has the potential to be further customized to individual client
requirements and will represent a significant enhanced addition to Toisa’s existing construction
vessel fleet.
This vessel can, and will, support a wide variety of subsea operations world‐wide. This order will
provide the market with a DP3 vessel where full compliance with the SPS Code is a fundamental
principle of the design and also includes arrangements to meet DNV’s COMFORT Class.
The vessel has all the inherent flexibility in design of previous Toisa construction vessels ‐ and more
so. The under‐deck configuration provides space allowing installation of 2 x 2500 Tonne capacity
under‐deck carousels, and/or a range of alternative equipment to be installed – similarly, a large
deck area of c. 2900m2 is optimised clear space for the installation of project equipment such as
pipelay spreads and the carriage and deployment of heavy offshore equipment for installation.
A fully integrated vessel management and control system of all key functions is fitted on the vessel
and includes the optional provision for deployment of a deck mounted diving bell through a central
moonpool.
The now common requirement for subsea construction vessels to accommodate large numbers of
contractors personnel has also been addressed in designing the ship to accommodate up to 250
persons ( depending on Charterers requirements).
Sealion Shipping Ltd currently operates four existing Construction vessels within its varied modern
fleet of twenty five offshore support vessels. In addition, Toisa has a further five offshore support
vessels presently under construction, that will join the Sealion fleet during 2013 and 2014. Further
newbuilding projects remain under consideration.
