UT700s play dominant role in offshore sector

Ulstein's UT700 designs, drawing on 20 years' experience, continue to set the pace in the offshore support vessel sector, and are backed by a range of equipment sup- plied by Ulstein Group companies.

The mainstay of the Ulstein Group's shipbuilding division, Ulstein Verft, remains securely in offshore tonnage, and a healthy orderbook emphasizes the com- pany's presence in this market sector.

More than 250 vessels of UT700 designs have now been built by Ulstein or under license at other shipyards around the world, and of the 275 vessels delivered by

Ulstein, 100 have been for offshore duties.

Recent successes include Northern

Gambler, a UT745 support vessel, deliv- ered to local Norwegian operator Sovik

Supply in July 1996.

A UT723 survey vessel for the Korean

Institute of Geology, Mining and Materials (KIGAM) was due for delivery at the end of 1996. This tailor-made vessel design was based on Ulstein's experience in designing and building a series of six seismic vessels for Western Atlas between 1991 and 1995 (designated UT743, UT743 II, and UT747 designs).

The Korean vessel was scheduled to be followed by a UT736 cable-layer for Care

Offshore in early January. Ulstein's most recent contract is for three UT720-design

AHTS vessels for Swire Pacific Offshore of

Singapore. Deliveries are scheduled for

April, June and October of next year.

Further refinement of both theUT745 and UT746 designs is found in USFK^O, the first of which, Far Suppofb^J^as leliv- ered to Farstac^|>h»pilJ bjj rS^en in

Ulstein. Farstad's fleet already includes a

UT745, Far Service, delivered by Soviknes last year. In early September 1996,

Farstad also ordered another vessel of

UT722 design from Langsten Slip.

An Ulstein UT722 design package has been chosen for an AHTS vessel to be built by Aukra Industrier for Simon Mokster

Shipping of Stavanger, scheduled for deliv- ery this April. This is the third example of the design to be built; Ulstein Verft having delivered two UT722 vessels to Farstad in 1993.
