Harris PYE, H&W Repair FPSOHarris Pye has completed plannedmaintenance and upgrades on Husky?s SeaRose Floating Production and Storage(FPSO) vessel, the first to be drydocked in the UK in 12 years. Working for H&W at their Belfast Repair Dock, the Harris Pye team worked 24/7 to complete all works in under 28 days. The 272 x 45- m wide FPSO is operated by Husky En- ergy at the White Rose oil field, 350km off the Newfoundland coast. Prime Contractor H&W dedicated itsBelfast Repair facility and resources, so that the vessel could undergo an FPSO Off Station Program (OSP), where planned maintenance and upgrades werecompleted in dry dock. H&W awarded Harris Pye the contract to carry out allmajor topside works, which included spe- cialist piping and turret system upgrades.Having previously completed similar projects, they were also tasked with ad- ditional works such as the installation of a new deepwell pump system and the re- furbishment of the turret lower bearing?s and utility swivel seals. www.harrispye.com Jaya: $84m to deliver two vessels Jaya Holdings Limited won ship build- ing contracts worth $84m to deliver a 5,150 bhp Anchor Handling Tug and Supply Vessel and a 16,000 bhp AHTSV. The 16,000 bhp AHTSV, one of the largest vessels to be built by JAYA, will be designed and built for offshore support and is capable of oil rig towing, oil rig positioning and anchor handling, off- shore oilfield supply, stand by rescue, and iceberg towing/ice management. The ves- sel is Ice Class 1A; giving it the ability to navigate in moderate level ice conditions and northern regions. The vessel has also been designed to Norwegian Maritime Directorate standards (highest in world for offshore vessels) and carries the Clean Design (CD) designation fromDNV. Open Ocean Launches Maritime Security Program Aboard the HQSWellington, Chenega UK Ltd. launched itsfully integrated mar- itime security systemto combat piracy and provide the ship owning community with a holistic, singlepoint of contact se-curity program to mitigate the risk of piracy. "The shipping world has had to deal in a piecemeal fashion with the real- ities of piracy and related crimes against their seafarers and ships with little sup- port from the establishment (however that is defined), and it is somewhat inevitable that the provision of maritime security has been a rather haphazard affair in the circumstances,? said Murray Hammick, Chenega UK Managing Director. ?A few years ago we in Chenega had the un- doubted luxury of being able to take a 60,000 foot view of the problem and, from the perspective of a defense corpo- ration with expertise in the fields of IT, data collection and processing, securityand operational planning and support, sowe set out to see what a comprehensive, top-down maritime security solution might look like. This was the genesis of Open Ocean."www.openoceanmaritime.com. OSD Wins PSV Contracts Offshore Ship De- signers UK division OSD-IMT won a contract to supply thedesign for a modified version of its IMT 982 Platform SupplyVessel to be built at the new shipyard fa- cility of HonghuaOffshore Oil & Gas Equipment in Jiangsu, China. The basic class-approved design documentation and design licenceis provided by OSD-IMT Ltd, Montrose, UK. The 83.2-m PSV will have a deck area of 900 sq. m. and can carry 1330 cu.m. of fuel oil, 800 cu. m. of potable freshwater, 980 cu. m. of liquid mud/brine, 1350 cu. m. of drill water/water ballast, 265 cu. m. of dry bulk and 170 cu. m. of base oil. It has a maximum load dead-weight of about 4,000 tons at 6m draft.A diesel electric propulsion system isfitted comprising four main diesel gener- ators, 2 x 1900 kW frequency controlled electric motor-driven azimuth thrusters for main propulsion and 2 x 800 kW fre-quency controlled electric motor driven tunnel thrusters fitted forward. The ves- sel is classed with Lloyds Register of Shipping and is fitted with a DP2 system. It has accommodation for a crew of 28 persons and has a trial speed of 14.0knots. Meanwhile, Swire Pacific Off- shore (SPO) has confirmed an order with Universal Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) in Japan for six high-specification IMT 984 3700 DWT PSVs designed by OSD-IMT, with options for a further 4 vessels. The vessels will be built in USC's Keihin Shipyard and delivered progres- sively from third-quarter 2014. These or- ders follow on from the one placed in late 2011 for four OSD-IMT-designed IMT 997 5000 DWT PSVs at USC?s Maizuru Shipyard and 4 IMT 997 PSVs at the EISA Shipyard, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. AVEVA: Major Deal With Ingalls AVEVA signed a major contract exten- sion with Huntington Ingalls Industries for AVEVA MARS, an Enterprise Re- source Management (ERM) software so- lution from the AVEVA Enterprise portfolio. Implemented at Ingalls Ship- building, a division of HII, this new con- 90Maritime Reporter & Engineering News ExxonMobil Expands Supply Capability of MobilGardExxonMobil Marine Lubricants completed the first bulk delivery of Mobilgard 570 cylinder oil in the Port of Shanghai in May. The bulk delivery of Mobilgard 570 was made by Hai Gong You 30, the first double-hulled marine lubricants-delivery barge to operate in Shanghai. Built and owned by China Marine Bunker PetroChina Co. Ltd (Chimbusco), the IMO-compliant barge is 278 dwt and iss equipped with state-of-the-art flow meter technology and a 1.5 metric ton crane. Mobilgard 570 is formulated with high-quality, heavy neutral base stocks, which have less thermal and oxidative stability. To optimize the oil?s performance, ExxonMobil bal- ances individual additive components instead of using an additive package. One of these addi- tives is a patented synthetic thickener technology to increase viscosity, important for engine designs that incorporate higher combustion gas pressures and temperatures, higher stroke/bore ratios and reduced cylinder oil feed rates. The oil also contains proprietary performance-en- hancing detergents, dispersants, anti-oxidants and anti-corrosive additives. In addition to help- ing extend piston overhaul intervals, Mobilgard 570 helps increase engine reliability, providing outstanding thermal stability and acid-corrosion protection. It also promotes cleanliness and re-duces the amount of waste cylinder oil requiring disposal, thus allowing ship operators to be more environmentally responsible. Mobilgard 570 will be replaced by Mobilgard 560 VS later this year. New Mobilgard 560 VS is an advanced variable-sulfur cylinder oil that is formulated to deliver outstanding performance and engine wear protection for slow-speed diesel engines. It is designed for use with residual fuels spanning both high and low sulfur levels.
