Delivery Of New DPII DSV
Noordhoek is pleased to announce that it has officially taken delivery of the DPII DSV Noordhoek Constructor in early January, from the Niigata Yard in Japan. The vessel is currently on route to the North Sea. This new, state-of-the-art vessel is specifically designed for efficient diving operations in the harsh North Sea environment. The new vessel has an overall length of 76 m with an 18 m beam. The vessel is equipped with a 12-man single bell saturation diving system with the latest technology, complete with a self propelled hyperbaric lifeboat. The DPII DSV Noordhoek Constructor has a 100-tonne crane and accommodation for 70 people. The vessel has Class 2 Dynamic Positioning and is in compliance with the most demanding maritime and environmental regulations worldwide. The vessel is designed primarily for Saturation, Air and TUP diving operations at depths of up to 200m. However, with a clear deck space of 685m2, the 100 tonne main crane and a dual Light Work and Observation class ROV spread, the new build will clearly be a multi-role vessel suitable for worldwide deployment. With the delivery of the DPII DSV Noordhoek Constructor, Noordhoek will be operating three subsea support vessels before the end of the 1Q 2010; Noordhoek is expecting to take delivery of one more DPII ROV Survey SV Noordhoek Pathfinder mid March 2010.
