The recently delivered 'Olympic Zeus' and her upcoming sister ship 'Olympic Hera' are the largest anchor handling vessels of the Ulstein A122-type by Ulstein Design ever contracted at Ulstein Verft, Norway.
The vessels are the first with hybrid solution developed by Ulstein Design. The hybrid system allows the ships to switch between diesel-mechanical and diesel-electric propulsion; or a combination the two for maximal pull and optimum fuel efficiency. This gives the vessels an economic and environmental edge in their sphere of operation.
The 'Olympic Zeus' is a state-of-the-art vessel capable of performing marine operations at major depths. With one large 500-tonne and two 450-tonne drums, the Rolls-Royce winch has an enormous capacity. Ulstein Elektro made extensive equipment deliveries to the ship, including Ulstein COM, Ulstein IAS, switchboards, consoles, motor control centres (MCC), engine starters and navigation and communication equipment as well as installation.
The vessel is prepared for a 250-tonne offshore crane and two A-frames of different types. The ship has DP2, a ROV garage and accommodations for 68 persons.
The vessel measures 93.8 metres long and 23 metres wide and has a towing power of some 250 tonnes.
