With the S182 design, Ulstein introduces a new dynamically positioned multipurpose construction vessel suitable for shallow water operations.
Main design driver was to develop a very Capex friendly DP vessel with good capabilities to support various offshore operations, including cable lay and offshore construction. The vessel offers an unprecedented combination of deck area, accommodation and station keeping capability for a compact vessel. This results in a very cost efficient platform capable of supporting a wide variety of operations:
- Cable laying
- Offshore construction
- Shallow water installation
- Dive support
- Rock installation
- Salvage works
The mooring and DP2 (optionally DP3) station keeping capability, in combination with the large endurance and adequate transit speed, ensure that the Ulstein S182 can operate autonomously in remote shallow water and offshore areas.
Beaching
The vessel is capable of shallow water DP operations (@ 4.5m draft) including beaching. It features a large and strong open work deck suitable to accommodate up to 30 m ø carousel, large cargo hold below deck and approximately 10,000 DWT capacity. A main offshore crane of up to 400 t can be located in the side of the vessel, while a passage way below main deck is created between aft casings and accommodation, a safety feature avoiding people having to cross the open work deck.
