Asbjørn Skaro, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice President – Deck Machinery, said: “Mooring a giant crane is a challenge we are happy to tackle
, and it’s a great pleasure working with SembCorp Marine on this unique project. The system to be delivered by Rolls-Royce builds on
decades of experience with advanced deck machinery for both vessels and floating units.”

Mooring systems from Rolls-Royce are designed to operate safely in the harshest climatic zones.
For this vessel – the “Sleipnir” – Rolls-Royce will deliver a tailor made equipment package for specific operations,
comprising a 12 point mooring system including electric driven winches, fairleads, wire sheaves and also a control system.

When completed the vessel will be 220 metres in length, have a width of 102 metres and a displacement of 273,700 tonnes at maximum operational draft.
It will be equipped with two cranes of 10,000 tonnes lifting capacity each,

providing the heavy lifting capacity to install and remove offshore facilities and install subsea structures,
foundations, moorings, and floating structures in deep water. The Sleipnir will be self-propelled with a transit speed of 10 knots, and will operate on dual-fuel.

The vessel is scheduled to be delivered from the yard in the second half of 2018.

Global OSV market to remain difficult into 2017: MMA Offshore

The global market for offshore vessels is forecast to stay challenging into 2017,
as operators continue to find it hard to achieve high utilisation and charter rates have fallen significantly in some markets, according to MMA Offshore.

Marine service provider MMA noted that market conditions in the offshore oil and gas industry continue to be difficult with oil prices at 12 year lows.

“The international market for offshore vessels remains very difficult with large numbers of vessels competing for limited work.
Maintaining utilisation remains challenging and rates have now come down by up to 50% in some markets,” said Jeffrey Weber, managing director of MMA.

“The Middle East is holding up slightly better in terms of utilisation and MMA is focused on growing its operations in this region,
” Weber adder.

MMA shared that vessel operators in the Southeast Asian market continue to price at close to breakeven rates to maintain utilisation,
with day rates now approximately 40-50% lower than June 2014 levels.

The Middle East market continues to hold up better with utilisation relatively stable but rates down over 30%.

Fremantle-based MMA owns and operates over 60 OSVs throughout Australia and internationally.
Reduced construction activity in Australia will impact its vessels and supply based businesses and lower activity is expected globally as well.

The tough operating environment has led to MMA posting a net profit of AUD6.46m ($4.67m) in the first half ended 31 December 2015,
down 82.8% from AUD37.71m in the previous corresponding period.

Revenue for its first half of financial year 2016 also fell by 32.2% year-on-year to AUD309.33m.

“At this stage, we anticipate market conditions will remain challenging for the remainder of FY16 and into FY17.
We expect second half earnings to be significantly lower than the first half as a result of reduced Australian construction activity,
the seasonal impact of the Southeast Asian monsoon period and ongoing depressed market conditions,” Weber said.

“We have taken the decision to re-phase the Petronas Floating LNG 2 project, to be commissioned at a later date than originally planned,” Petronas’ President and CEO, Datuk Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin said at a press conference announcing the company’s 2015 results.

However, the CEO did not reveal a new timeframe for the startup of Petronas’ PFLNG2. The floating LNG facility, with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), was previously expected to start production in 2018.

Petronas held a keel laying ceremony for PFLNG2 at Samsung Heavy Industry’s shipyard on Geoje Island, South Korea in October last year.
The second floating LNG facility for Petronas will be used for the liquefaction, production and offloading of natural gas in the Rotan field, 130 kilometers offshore Sabah.
Petronas’ first floating LNG unit, the PFLNG1, being built at South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard in Okpo, is expected to commence operations in 2016.

Door de lage olieprijs komt de offshore in steeds zwaarder weer. Statoil heeft met onmiddellijke ingang het contract met de semi-submersible COSL Innovator opgezegd en opdracht gegeven om het boren met de COSL Promoter onmiddellijk te staken. Statoil zegt dat het dit volgens contract boetevrij kan doen, maar COSL bestrijd dit voor beide contracten en zegt zo nodig naar de rechter te zullen stappen.
Beide rigs zijn werkzaam in het Troll Field, ter hoogte van Bergen.
Vind maar eens ander emplooi voor twee semi-submersibles.

D.p.d.s Stena Maxx heeft haar marine riser string met de LMRP laten vallen in deepwater voor de Canadese kust. Gelukkig was het rig reeds gedisconnect van de well en was de riser fluid reeds gedisplaced met zeewater. Rov onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat de BOP niet door de vallende riser of de LMRP is beschadigd. De well is dus "secure" en er is geen sprake van zeewaterverontreiniging door drilling fluïds.

Zie: http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/nova ... -1.3479164

Het zal wel even duren voordat het rig ter plaatse over een andere riserstring en LMRP kan beschikken om de operatie te continueren......

Keppel FELS to deliver fifth accommodation vessel to Floatel - Floatel Triumph.

Keppel FELS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) is on track to deliver a fifth high-specification accommodation semisubmersible (semi) to Floatel International Ltd (Floatel) on time, on budget and with a perfect safety record. The semi, which is built to Keppel's proprietary SSAUTM 5000NG design, was named Floatel Triumph during a ceremony held earlier today. It will be chartered by INPEX Operations Australia for work in Ichthys Field, off Western Australia.

Mr Wong Kok Seng, Managing Director of Keppel O&M (Offshore) and Keppel FELS, said, "We are pleased to deliver a fifth accommodation vessel to Floatel safely, on time and on budget. As a leading designer, builder and repairer of mobile offshore rigs, we are able to provide the highest quality and most cost effective solutions that are customised to suit our clients' needs. This includes non-drilling solutions, like accommodation vessels and offshore maintenance platforms.
"Our yards remain busy for the rest of the year, with a number of deliveries in the pipeline. As we ride through this challenging period in the offshore and marine industry, we continue to work closely with our quality customers to ensure that we deliver projects to their highest satisfaction."

Developed by Keppel's Deepwater Technology Group, the SSAUTM 5000NG is an enhanced design that meets the stringent UK HSE requirements to work in the UK sector of the North Sea, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Western Australia. It is also equipped with state-of-the-art accommodation and recreational facilities to provide increased comfort for its 500-person crew.

Mr Peter Jacobsson, CEO of Floatel, added, "Each of the accommodation vessels that Keppel has delivered to Floatel has been performing very well. They are uniquely designed to provide superior stability, safety and living conditions, meeting the stringent rules and regulations for worldwide operations. Just like its sister rigs, we are fully confident that Floatel Triumph will serve us well and we look forward to more win-win partnerships with Keppel.

"Despite the current challenging environment, all our vessels continue to receive strong demand and have high utilisation rates. In the current oil price environment, sustaining production levels is key for oil companies, and accommodation units are required as they reduce downtime during periods of essential maintenance. Douglas Westwood forecasts that growth in the offshore accommodation market for units supporting operational activities will be sustained at 3% CAGR from 2015 to 2020."

Keppel FELS previously delivered Floatel Superior, Floatel Reliance, Floatel Victory and Floatel Endurance, to Floatel. Floatel Reliance and Floatel Victory are also built to the SSAUTM design and the latter is currently in operations for BP at Clair Ridge Field, West of Shetland, United Kingdom. Floatel Reliance has recently completed its contract with Petrobras in Brazil. Floatel Superior and Floatel Endurance are built to Keppel's proprietary DSSTM 20NS design and have been chartered to Premier in Solan Field, United Kingdom and Chevron in Wheatstone Field, Australia respectively.

Floating accommodation platforms are needed to provide additional living quarters for drilling and production personnel. Such support is required during hook-up and commissioning in the development phase, for maintenance and upgrading during the production phase, as well as for decommissioning.
