Topaz Energy and Marine adds new vessel

Topaz Energy and Marine, a offshore support vessel company, has bolstered its emergency response and recovery vessel fleet with the addition of a new vessel, Topaz Responder.

The newly-built, Topaz Responder will primarily provide safety support to offshore installations but is versatile enough to also provide general offshore support services. The vessel was built in the ship building yard by Topaz Energy and Marine’s sister company, Topaz Engineering, in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. 

The vessel is equipped with on-board medical treatment and recovery facilities, firefighting and oil recovery capabilities and two 15-man fast rapid deployment craft, which can be deployed from the vessel’s deck to the water in 60 seconds. It has capacity for 300 people on board and fully-equipped treatment room. Topaz Responder is 51m in length with a deadweight of 775-tonne and is equipped with dynamic positioning class 1 capability and two caterpillar 3512B engines.

In addition to the Topaz Responder, a multi-purpose support vessel is expected to be launched in mid-2015 and a 150-tonne bollard pull anchor handling tug supply vessel will join the Topaz fleet late 2016.
