India's L & T Shipbuilding has handed over a platform supply vessel to Qatari company Halul Offshore Services.
Designed by United Arab Emirates-based Win Marine Engineering Services, the PSV belongs to a series of vessels that will be delivered to HOSC from the Indian builder.
The PSV has an overall length of 78.60 metres, a beam of 18.0 metres, a depth of 7.25 metres and a draught of 5.50 metres. In all the vessel has a deadweight of 2,500 tonnes and a large deck area. The vessel has been designed as a multi-purpose vessel equipped for fire-fighting with water spray, rescue and standby, offshore supply, oil recovery and other offshore related activities.
The vessel's diesel-electric set comprises three MAN Diesel and Turbo engines, each rated for 2,353kW of power, which turn propellers from Berg. This propulsion system bestows the PSV with a service speed of around 12 knots.
The ship has DP-2 capabilities with one diesel generator standing by, so that while a diesel generator shuts off, the vessel can still be DP-2 capable by activating the third diesel generator.
