1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 Vessel general
The fully diesel electric, dynamically positioned (DP3) crane
vessel is equipped with a 5000mt Huisman Offshore Mast
Crane (OMC) and optionally a 600mt S-lay System. The crane
and vessel are capable of fully revolving with 5000mt load.
The vessel is optimized for long transits at high speed up
to 15 knots. The vessel is suitable for operating world-wide
including the following areas: China, Brazil, Gulf of Mexico,
West of Africa, the North Sea, etc.
The crane vessel is designed for multipurpose hoist- and-
subsea lifts and pipe-laying operations. The design is
developed in such a way that the 600mt S-lay System can
be installed later on the main deck with limited effort. A
large deck space allows transporting a variety of modules,
handling equipment or can be used for pipe storage when
performing pipe-laying operations. The available deck load is
approx. 13000mt (approx. 10000mt after the S-lay System is
installed).
The vessel design is based on a variable draft concept. At
the transit draft the breadth of the vessel is limited which
allows sailing at high speed and good motion characteristics
in waves. The pipe-laying operations and light lifts can be
also performed at this draft. For heavy lifts the vessel draft is
increased. This increases the breadth of the water line in order
to provide sufficient stability for heavy lift operations. Special
attention is given to the DP system to achieve a high DP
performance for work offshore. A dedicated fast anti-heeling
system is utilized in order to compensate the heel angle when
the crane revolves. A 10 point mooring system is foreseen for
operations in shallow waters.

1.3 600mt S-lay system
The pipe handling system consists of a supply line which
handles single and double joints to supply the firing line,
located on the port side of the vessel. A pipe kick out line to
transport the pipe out of the firing line, in case the pipe has
to be cut back is located on starboard. The pipe sections are
stored in cradles on the main deck or supplied by a vessel
or barge. The pipes are placed on the port landing unit (or
optionally on the starboard landing unit) by the pipe handling
cranes. The landing unit is a bumper frame to facilitate pipe
landing and to prevent damage to the conveyor rollers. The
pipe sections are transported to a transverse conveyor using
conveyor rollers. This transverse conveyor takes the pipe
through the beveling area, which is shielded from bead stall
area and the firing line to limit noise and clutter. The beveled
pipe section is then transported on conveyor rollers onto a
second transverse conveyor which transports the pipe to the
firing line. This transverse conveyor is equipped with several
working positions for pre-heat etc.
The firing line receives pipes from the port supply line. The
pipe joints are loaded from the transverse conveyor onto the
lineup table using transverse transport carts. The lineup table
consists of two line up tools that are electronically coupled
and act as one single line up table (all three line up tools are
used when using double joints). A maximum of five welding
stations are available in front of the tensioners and one in
between the tensioners for welding singles. When processing
double joints three welding stations are available in front
of the tensioners. The welding stations are followed by an
NDT station in between the tensioners and two (one in case
of doubles) coating areas aft of the tensioners. The sea-
going pipe is supported by the firing line roller boxes located
between the workstations. All workstations except for the
coating areas are equipped with trolleys that can engage the
sea-going pipe to eliminate relative movement. The trolleys
are able to follow the movement of the pipe. The tensioners
are mounted on rails, this makes the handling and installation
of large inline structures more efficient. The tensioners can be
fully opened and skid out of the way to allow passage of large
structures while the other two tensioners hold the sea-going
pipe.
The pipe tension is divided over three 200mt tensioners
spaced apart to allow workstations in between. The
tensioners are equipped with a squeeze equalizing system to
allow laying of concrete coated pipe, as an additional feature
this system can also be used when laying non concrete
coated pipe, to facilitate passage of e.g. anodes.
The 600mt A&R system consists of a storage/traction winch
combination with a wire that is routed to the firing line via a
retractable sheave box. The sheave box can be rotated in or
out the firing line using a hydraulic cylinder. The secondary A&R
system consists of a 200mt winch and two guide sheaves, this
system is used when the tension is relatively low. Because the
capacity of the secondary A&R system is lower the system is
easier to operate, and uses a more economical wire.
The stinger of approx. 95m in length is another major part of
the S-lay system. The stinger consists of 3 segments and it
can be adjusted for a large range of radii depending on the
water depth and the pipe diameter. The stinger is connected
to the stern of the vessel and it is suspended from the stinger
handling frame. In transit the stinger and the handling frame
can be disconnected from the stern of the vessel and these
can be put on the deck using main 5000mt crane.
1.4 Design Options
The vessel will initially be equipped with 5000mt crane only.
The 600mt S-lay can be installed later when required.
The crane stowing position is to the starboard with the boom
rest close to the side of the vessel. This keeps a large deck
area free from any obstacles allowing to carry construction
works or transport of large objects in an efficient way.
When required the S-lay equipment is installed on the main
deck with the firing line tunnel at the center line of the vessel.
The crane stowing position becomes at the center line above
the firing line. The existing boom rest is simply moved from its
original position to the top of the firing line to maximize space
for pipe handling cranes.

1.5 Variable draft concept
The variable draft concept allows to control the vessel
motions for a wide range of operational conditions. At light
draft (when no heavy lifts are performed) the breadth at the
water line is limited and the stability parameters of the vessel
are close to its optimum. At larger drafts corresponding
to heave lift conditions the breadth increases, keeping the
stability parameters close to the optimum. This makes it
possible to keep the natural roll period of the vessel beyond
(longer than) the periods of existing waves for virtually all
operating conditions. This significantly reduces roll motions
as shown in the plot below. An extensive model test program
was carried out in order to verify the concept and provide
accurate measurements of motion response and resistance.
Variable draft concept:
Deep draft results in wide waterline and therefore high
stability required for heavy lift operations
Shallow draft results in narrow waterline for good motion
behavior and high transit speed
Conventional concept:
All drafts give wide waterline and therefore high stability,
which results in poor motion behavior in transit and light
lift conditions.
All drafts (including transit draft) give wide waterline and
therefore high resistance, resulting in limited speed.

1.6 Anti-heeling systems
A dedicated anti-heeling system is applied in order to
compensate for the heel moment caused by the crane. This
system utilizes large water ballast tanks connected by cross-
overs for pumping large amount of ballast water when the
crane is performing heavy lifts.
Optionally an additional anti-heeling system can be installed.
This secondary fast system is designed to compensate for
heel angle when the crane slews empty or with small loads.
This system consists of two masses moving in transvers
direction. These masses are located below main deck. The
speed of this automatic system matches the slew speed of
the crane, which make operating the crane highly convenient.
1.7 Accommodation
398 persons are accommodated in single, twin, and four
person cabins. Further the accommodation is outfitted with
offices, change room and laundry facilities, mess room,
galley and provision stores, hospital, recreation areas, and a
gymnasium.
1.8 Power Generation and Propulsion
Electrical power on the vessel will be generated by 6 diesel
generator sets located in two engine rooms. The diesel
generator sets run on MDO and HFO. Normally in transit only
3 generating sets will be used. The remaining gensets will be
engaged when extra power is required for instance during
offshore lifts operating using DP.
The vessel is equipped with seven thrusters. In the aft of
the vessel three azimuthing thrusters and a retractable
azimuthing thruster are located. The azimuthing thrusters
are used for both main propulsion and DP operation. The
retractable azimuthing thruster is used for DP. In the bow
one tunnel thrusters and two retractable azimuthing thrusters
are installed. The tunnel thruster is available for both harbour
manoeuvring and DP operation. The bow retractable
azimuthing thrusters are used for DP operation.
