Yno 232 - Western Regent

In 1992, the UT 747 concept had been designed in compliance with advanced and demanding requirements, setting a new dimension into the industry. The design provided an extremely stable and silent working platform, comprising provision for comprehensive seismic equipment packages and spacious computer processing facilities. The vessel is powered by a centralized diesel electric power plant, propulsion and compressors are all electrically driven, giving a high level of availability and redundancy. Hydro acoustic noise is carefully controlled. Special measures were taken from the design stage and throughout the building program in order to ensure the very low noise level. All major rotating machinery installations are resiliently mounted, and vibration characteristics of the steel structure and hull is made without interference from machinery and propulsion plant.
