Rolls-Royce wins offshore ship deal

News

Hamburg-based OSM Schiffahrt has awarded Rolls-Royce a contract to design and provide equipment for six new offshore service ships, with an option for another six.

As part of the £83m contract, which does not include the extra ships, the vessels will be built for Nordcapital and OSM’s joint venture OSM Schiffahrt in Korean and Norwegian shipyards.

The agreement involves the production of four UT 786 CD and two UT 776 CD vessels to be built at Korea’s Sekwang shipyard and Aker Yards Brevik, Norway respectively. The shipyards have produced a total of 53 Rolls-Royce vessels so far.

The UT 786 CD is a deep water anchorhandler capable of supplying full services required by offshore oil platforms as well as being a standby/rescue vessel. It is designed to be 86m long, with a 20m beam, with a bollard pull of 200 tonnes and a maximum speed of 18 knots. In addition, the ship will be equipped with two 6,000kW Bergen BV32:40V12P engines.
