Navis Engineering has completed work on its latest project with Singaporean offshore specialist Miclyn Express Offshore (MEO), following the commissioning of the DP2 system on board the ROV and dive support vessel Resolution.
After successful sea trials, and a christening ceremony at the Keppel Bay Marina, Singapore, the 70m-long vessel has departed for Indonesia, on a three-year charter to Seascape Surveys.
For Navis, the project follows its supply of the DP2 system onboard MEO Ranger, a 65m-long platform supply vessel, now operating in the Persian Gulf.
The Seascape charter agreement called for modifications to Resolution, with the newbuild lengthened by 6m, during construction at the MEO Batam Shipyard.
Enhancements included a mezzanine deck extension and installation of a crane, two ROV generators, a moon pool, air compressor and A-frame, and additional PRS (taut wire and HPR).
The latest project reflects the strategic investment made by Navis in establishing operations in Singapore two years ago. The Singapore office has also taken responsibility for overseeing relations with shipbuilders throughout South East Asia, with current projects including work in Vietnam.
Navis Engineering Oy, founded in 1992, is a privately owned Finnish manufacturer of dynamic positioning and vessel motion control systems. The company headquarters is located in Vantaa, Finland, where production takes place. It also has an R&D Centre in St Petersburg, Russia.
