Norwegian company Brunvoll has actually protected an agreement to supply propulsion and manoeuvring bundles for Purus Wind’s 2 brand-new Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOV).
Each vessel will certainly be furnished with 2 azimuth thrusters for propulsion, and 2 retracting azimuth thrusters and a passage thruster for manoeuvring The range of supply functions additionally Brunvoll’s Propulsion and Thruster Control system, Brucon PTC.
“The offshore wind market will be an important segment for Brunvoll in the coming years and with these additions to our orderbook we already have good visibility for factory utilization in 2024,” claims Kare Øyvind Vassda CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER at Brunvoll Group.
According to Brunvoll, the propulsion thrusters include”the latest and greatest” renovations to satisfy the progressively more stringent needs for quick, risk-free, and precise DP procedures for SOVS/CSOVS.
“This includes significantly improved azimuth rotation speed, increases propeller acceleration/deceleration, and arrangements for increased thrust efficiency in terms of reduced thruster and hull interaction,” Brunvoll claimed.
Combined with both retracting azimuth thrusters and the passage thruster in the bow, the vessels must be preferably outfitted when it come to the functional needs, DP precision, and general efficiency, Brunvoll included.
The vessels, which are of VARD 4 19-design, will certainly be around 87 x 19,5 meters with a capability of 120 individuals. The layout is maximized for reduced gas usage, high operability, and convenience.
Delivery of the vessels will certainly remain in Q2 2025 and Q2 2026. The initial vessel will certainly be provided from among VARD’s lawns inNorway The various other vessel will certainly be constructed by VARD Vung Tau inVietnam There are choices 2 construct 2 even more vessels, and for Brunvoll to give propulsion and manoeuvring sytems for them, also. The 2 choices are additionally intended to be constructed both in Norway and Vietnam.
