The addition of the 49,999 DWT IMO 3 product and chemical tanker increases the number of Ardmore vessels on the water to 22, joining sister ships, Ardmore Sealion and Ardmore Seafox. Technical management of the Ardmore Seawolf will be provided by Univan. 3 Idreco Delivers Dredger for Congo Hydro-Dam Idreco (International Dredger Constructions) of the Netherlands has designed, built and installed its second dredger, an ISD-600 with a digging depth of 30m, at the Inga Dam in The Democratic Republic of Congo. The dredge has a mixture production and solids production of approximately of 5,000 cu. m. /hr. and 1,500 cu. m. /hr. using an Idreco designed IDP 600 pump. 4 Austal-built LCS Delivered Austal delivered the third littoral combat ship (LCS) [USS Jackson (LCS 6)] built at its Mobile, Ala. shipyard to the U.S. Navy on August 11. This milestone marks the fi rst LCS ship built by Austal as the prime contractor as part of a 10-ship, $3.5 billion block-buy contract. After the delivery of Jackson, six Independence-variant LCS remain under construction at Austal’s Alabama shipyard. Montgomery (LCS 8) is being prepared for trials later this year. 54 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News • SEPTEMBER 2015
New OSV Concept Image: Ardmore Shipping Dedicated ship design office HEAVY- LIFT@SEA has partnered with service provider to the offshore industry SeaRenergy a new 72-m vessel targets both efficiency and comfort, developed with a focus on minimizing losses during operation but still with a cost efficient propulsion arrangement with low fuel consumption and maintenance cost. The vessel is designed to reduce motion and increase comfort for technicians in order to mitigate risk of sea sickness and weather downtime, especially in the harsh conditions of the North Sea. It accommodates up to 60 persons in single cabins, embedded in a true passenger ship class vessel including two day rooms, auditorium and a fitness room. The configuration enables an efficient flow of people and spare parts around the vessel. The motion compensated gangway, which is accessible directly from the elevator grants direct access to wind turbines and offshore platforms in significant wave heights of up to 2.5 meters, arranged for workability at water levels of +/- 4.0 m around MSL. With the cargo transfer system, a barrier-free handling of spare parts and components of is possible up to 300 kg without using a crane. The vessel is equipped with a daughter craft in its own hangar at the stern to be used as a second means for access to the boat landing of offshore structures. The hangar increases the safety of operation, especially in rough weather conditions. Wind Farm Vessels Atlantic Wind Transfers, the commercial wind support services arm of Rhode Island Fast Ferry, joined Blount Boats and offshore wind developer Deepwater Wind for an official Ribbon Cutting ceremony to mark the start of construction on the first offshore wind farm crew transfer vessel in the U.S. With the first two jacket foundations for the Block Island project already in the water and on site, preparations for the construction phase of the first U.S. offshore wind farm are well underway. According to a Navigant report, the U.S. offshore wind industry could be worth up to $2.2 billion by 2020.
