Engineering support for cable lay integration

Ulstein has been responsible for assessing the structural and stability impact on the vessel. This has been a challenging job, using detailed FE analysis, as this vessel features Ulstein’s double-deck principle with a large overspan at the ship’s centre line accommodating the pipelay firing line.

Working closely together with NPCC’s project manager Sherif El Seidy and carousel designers Enersea and Neptune Marine from the Netherlands, a class approved solution was accessed with no major below deck modifications.
