IIT741

Shipbuilder Ulstein

Vessel Name Undecided

Vessel Type AHTS

Owner Saevik Supply

Ulstein's latest UT700 design — the UT741 — is part of the builder's AHTS portfolio and able to work anchors to depths down to 8,200 ft. (2,500 m). A UT741 unit was ordered for construction by the Th. Hellesoy Skipsbyggeri AS yard in Hardanger, for Saevik

Supply. Delivery of the vessel is scheduled for May 1999, and the contract includes an option for two additional vessels.

The UT741 design is defined by

Ulstein as a multi-function anchor handling tug, supply and service vessel, mid-range in size, fitting neatly between the company's

UT740 and UT742 models.

The UT741 has an overall length of 273.2 ft. (83.3 m) and a beam of 67.3 ft. (20.5 m). It is built around a very large, triple-drum, 500-ton

Brattvaag winch, which provides the vessel with outstanding deep- water anchor handling capability.

The 67.3 ft. (20.5 m) beam affords a roomy working deck area of 880 sq. m., offering a load capac- ity of 2,000 tons, which is suffi- cient for most offshore tasks and provides the ability to carry a flex- ible pipe basket.

For trenching operations, a 250- ton A-frame is specified over the
