Sinopacific Shipbuilding Group successfully delivered three SPP17A platform supply vessels (PSV) to owner Naviera Petrolera Integral (NPI) at Zhejiang Shipyard.
The 3 SPP17A PSVs were contracted in July 2014. All of them are the SP series of offshore support vessels (OSV) designed independently by Sinopacific. Based on NPI’s requirements, the compay tailor-made designed, built and delivered the new types of PSVs, which will be serving Mexico's PEMEX in the Gulf of Mexico.
The three PSVs mark Sinopacific's entry into the Mexican market.
The PSVs are designed by Shanghai Design Associates (SDA) under Sinopacific. With a length overall of 61.8m, a breadth of 14.0m, a depth of 5.8m, a deadweight of 1700-tonne, a designed draft of 4.3m, the vessels can accommodate 24 people. Using the all-electric propulsion system, the SPP17A PSV is equipped with two sets of steerable thrusters on the stern and the main dimensions for the bow and hull lines are further optimized, therefore enabling a larger deadweight and better fuel economy.
