Drydocks World has delivered two sister anchor-handling tug/supply (AHTS) vessels 'Greatship Vidya' and 'Greatship Vimla' to the Greatship Group.
The two V-Class series vessels have a length overall of 78.2 metres, a breadth of 18.2 metres and a depth of 8 metres. The vessels are designed for optimum availability of space and meticulous layout of equipment resulting in a compact vessel providing outstanding output.
The vessels are propelled by a Wärtsilä 9L32 main engine driving Wärtsilä gearboxes and propellers – a set-up that provides 150 tonnes of bollard pull. The Caterpillar auxiliary engines generate a total of 1,300kW, with two shaft generators providing an extra 4,400kW.
Towing and anchoring equipment has been supplied by Fukushima of Japan, with a DP2 system equipped and commissioned by Converteam (UK). Both vessels have undergone sea trials successfully and they are dual-classed under IRS and ABS.
