ANCHOR HANDLING<br />
J<br />
The first half of 2005 became fruitful<br />
for the Offshore Department of<br />
Remontowa when Tidewater Marine<br />
LLC decided to continue cooperation<br />
in newbuilding with Gdañsk Shiprepair Yard<br />
“Remontowa” S.A. Tidewater Marine, based<br />
in New Orleans, USA, placed an order<br />
for a pair of type NED 8167 L anchor handling<br />
towing supply vessels (AHTSV) with<br />
options for two more ships.<br />
The new vessels will be based on a project,<br />
NED 8167, that has already been completed<br />
for the same Owner. These vessels<br />
have been improved for this new endeavor<br />
through the base of experience gained during<br />
the construction of the previously delivered<br />
pair, the “J HUGH ROFF JR” and the<br />
“BIG JOE TIDE” Both of those vessels were<br />
delivered earlier this year by Remontowa.<br />
The main change of the earlier design<br />
is reflected in the length of the vessel. The<br />
new revision has a length of 70.0 m, but the<br />
breadth and depth remain as 15.50 m and<br />
6.60 m, respectively. Just as for the previous<br />
vessels, the recently contracted NED<br />
8167 L pair is designed to operate in shallow<br />
waters. Due to a limited rearrangement<br />
of the aft part of the ship, the continuous<br />
bollard pull will be increased to 120 tonnes<br />
with a simultaneous increase of the vessels’<br />
