Integration of new Ulstein subsea equipment on the Island Constructor
The ship will finish a well service campaign just after year-end and go to Bergen to remove the well service equipment that has been on board for 14 years. It will be replaced with next-generation subsea equipment, and the ship will then proceed to Ulstein Verft, where new equipment will be integrated. Ulstein Design & Solutions has already been involved in reviewing the changes that need to be made.
“The equipment will be adapted in the hangar, on the deck, in the tower and the ship in general”, says Trond-Eivind Larsen, who is the topside group leader at the operator company TIOS, a part of the TechnipFMC group.
Various other service work will also be carried out for Island Offshore, including installing a ballast water treatment system (BWTS) and overhauling the engines.
This assignment is one of several new Service and Aftermarket contracts signed lately by Ulstein Verft.
