Offshore energy services provider Jaya Holdings Limited, based in Singapore, confirmed the on-time delivery of its second new multi-purpose platform supply vessel (MPSV), Jaya Vigilant. She sailed from Jaya’s shipyard in Batam yesterday and was immediately on hire by its charterer for a term program in East Africa. The vessel will load a Remotely Operated Vessel (ROV) spread and mobilize across the Indian Ocean to load further subsea equipment for the client in Durban in October.
“Jaya Vigilant exemplifies the increasingly sophisticated vessels which Jaya’s Batam shipyard is able to build and customize on time and within budget,” commented Jaya Holdings CEO Venkatraman Sheshashayee.
The vessel has a 50 ton subsea crane with active heave compensation for service in water depths of up to 3,000m (2 mi.). Also installed are two HiPAP ultra-short base line transponders. Jaya Vigilant has accommodation for 60 people on board and is fully compliant with the SPS Code 2008.
Jaya has added additional power supplies on deck to support the seabed coring, ROV and hydrographic survey spread requirements, and the vessel has its own water maker to increase autonomy.
The next deliveries from Jaya’s Batam yard will be a DP2 work boat with accommodation for 249 people, and two DP2 ROV support vessels with 100 ton cranes.
