Multipurpose offshore vessels, utilizing green ammonia as fuel and fully unmanned are the promise of many challenges in today’s marine sector. July Marine is part of this development in partnership with Fincantieri’s Norwegian subsidiary Vard. July Marine delivered Marine equipment, honeycomb aluminum wall panels and ceiling panels. We also provided the marine doors for this project of the future that is taking place now.
Multipurpose offshore vessels for Ocean Infinity
The Texas based Ocean Infinity is forming a fleet of unmanned, or robotic ships. For this project of the future, it has contracted Fincantieri’s Norwegian subsidiary Vard for the design and construction. The order for six, eighty-five meter, multipurpose offshore vessels will join the current seventeen remote vessels and form the largest fleet in its kind in the world.
TRANSFORMATIONAL LOW-EMISSION REMOTE OPERATIONS ARE A PROMISE.
The unmanned low emission vessels have greater weather tolerance and the ability to operate in high sea states, and this brings great advantages for the global maritime industry.
Joint development of multipurpose offshore vessels
Ocean Infinity and three Vard subsidiaries like, Vard Design, Vard Electro and Seaonics teamed up for the design and construction of the six multipurpose offshore vessels. July Marine delivered marine doors, Marine equipment, honeycomb aluminum wall panels and aluminum ceiling panels.
Robotic vessels as front runner in low carbon emission services
“These new 85 meter vessels will be optimized for inspection, maintenance and repair and light construction work to offer remote, ultra-low carbon services to the offshore energy market,” said Richard Daltry, technical director – surface technology at Ocean Infinity. “Like the 78 meter series currently under construction, the new design continues to drive minimalized environmental impact with its integration of new fuel-cell and battery technology.”
“The team have made significant progress in recent months; commissioning our shore-side remote control infrastructure, running ROVs remotely and developing our fleet management capability,” said Dan Hook, chief technology officer at Ocean Infinity. “The way in which we will optimize the control and operation of these remote vessels is key. We are wholeheartedly committed to our goal of transforming operations at sea, to enable people and the planet to thrive, and we are proud to demonstrate that with the announcement of this next phase of Armada.”
Vung Tau Shipyard
The multipurpose offshore vessels are built at the Vard Vung Tau shipyard in Vietnam. This yard is a fully integrated facility. And skilled enough of undertaking the entire process of shipbuilding from hull construction to final outfitting works. It allows to tap into the possible new geographies and markets.
July Marine home in Vung Tau
For these multipurpose offshore ships, July Marine used their broad experience in the Offshore Service Vessels (OSV) to design and construct the wall en ceiling panels, the marine doors and equipment following the requirements of Vard. July Marine knows the way in Vung Tau. This long time understanding of the Vietnamese business environment and regulations supported July Marine to deliver the products at the right time and according to the agreed quality level.
