The order includes two Perry XLX 200 horsepower, 4000m work class rov systems and one Sub-Atlantic Comanche 3000m observation class ROV. FET will also provide operation and maintenance training for New Orient Marine’s personnel, as well as on board support during the ROV mobilization.
FET’s ROV systems are scheduled for delivery this year. New Orient Marine’s new build, multi-purpose ice-class vessel has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures as low as minus 30 degree Celsius. The first project for the new vessel will involve subsea intervention, inspection, maintenance and underwater welding of existing gas pipeline systems.
“We are pleased that New Orient Marine has chosen Forum and we look forward to supporting a long-term relationship,” Cris Gaut, FET chairman and CEO said. “The award demonstrates Forum’s capability for working with our customers to provide solutions tailored to their specific needs. It also validates our strategy of providing ongoing first class engineering as well as after-market support and service to offshore contractors from our operating centers in key regions. For New Orient Marine, the after-sales support will be provided from our established team based in Singapore.”
“Adding the equipment from Forum on-board the vessel, will increase substantially its versatility and operational range, rendering it a very attractive vessel for a broad number of potential clients and projects,” New Orient Marine said.
