Newly founded offshore support company World Wide Supply (WWS) has ordered four PSV 3300 CDs with Damen Shipyards. The PSV 3300 CD, built according to the yard’s E3 principles, is a newly designed platform supply vessel (PSV) for servicing oil and gas rigs worldwide and is specifically designed to perform safely and economically in adverse weather conditions.
All four vessels will be built at Damen Shipyards Galati, Romania. The first delivery is scheduled for early 2013, the last at the end of 2013.
Reduced Emissions
The PSV 3300 CD was launched at Europort last November and is a new type of offshore supplier: a workhorse with good seakeeping qualities, less need for maintenance and reduced emission levels. The vessels are built to the highest environmental and safety standards and with an eye for crew comfort.
Ship Particulars
The 80 m long vessel has a large 720 m² main deck, improved speed performance with the same engine size compared to its predecessors. The vessel is characterised by its sleek bow. There was design input from WWS and operational studies carried out on PSVs operating in the North Sea and in Brazilian waters. The result is a vessel with very little slamming, and improved comfort and safety for the crew, vessel and cargo.
World Wide Supply
WWS is owned by a group of Norwegian and international financial investors and industrial companies that sees a need for specialised offshore services and fit-for-purpose vessels to match. WWS will enter into a management agreement with Remøy Management AS (Fosnavag, Norway) and will draw on the forty years of experience and services of Remøy with respect to vessel management and crewing.
Damen E3
To reduce the environmental impact of its vessels and improve efficiency at the same time, Damen adheres to its E3 principles: Environmentally friendly, Efficient in operation and Economically viable. The principles are applied to for instance hull shape, coatings, the location of oil tanks, refrigerants, recovery of waste heat and engine emissions.
