Behind each vessel docked there is always a different team of people working together, analysing all the necessary information so that on the scheduled day, the operation takes place with a maximum degree of accuracy and in the safest conditions.
The result of all the work carried out previously allows us to show you how the tug boat NAVIA, soon to be Y-127, enters our slipway.
As this takes place, planning of the next vessel to be dry docked, the OCEAN MARLIN, starts. The offshore supply vessel of 66.8 m l.o.a and a 16.4m breadth, takes this opportunity to make its appearance public.
As we posted last week, the offshore supply vessel OCEAN MARLIN arrived at Metalships to undertake what is considered to be a “Large Repairs and Conversion job” of a vessel, or in other words, a job which implies a significant alteration of its main particulars.
You could say that it is a project half way between a New Building and a Repair job. The fact that work is carried out on an already existing vessel, brings us closer to the term Repair. However, given that the project involves a considerable amount of engineering and supplying of new equipment, determines the process more as a New Building.
The coming months will see us through the execution and progress of this change.
Scottish subsea specialist Sulmara is set to repurpose an emergency response rescue vessel (ERRV) into a multi-purpose support vessel (MPSV) with the addition of equipment to suit the renewables market.
