 Dubai-based owner Polarcus has taken delivery of Polarcus Naila, a modern 12 streamer 3D seismic vessel built to the ULSTEIN SX124 design and classed by DNV.
Polarcus Naila is the sister ship to Polarcus Nadia, delivered to the
Polarcus Group in December 2009. The vessel was built at Drydocks World -
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and will transit to West Africa to
commence a charter for Noble Energy Cameroon Limited.
Scott Jervis, DNV’s newbuilding manager in Dubai, confirmed that this is
the second vessel in a series of 6 vessels and all will be classed by
DNV.
“The schedule is for all 6 vessels to be delivered from Drydocks World
Dubai by summer 2010. It is an aggressive schedule by the yard to
deliver sophisticated vessels continuously over a sustained period.
Especially as the series of vessels are of different designs and all
bring new challenges. The focus is fully maintained by DNV Dubai to meet
the demanding schedule of dynamic positioning sea trials and vessel
deliveries.”
Polarcus Naila is a purpose-built seismic vessel incorporating the
innovative ULSTEIN X-BOW® and designed to meet the exacting
specifications for offshore seismic operations worldwide. The 88.8m
double-hulled vessel incorporates some of the most recent developments
in maritime systems and is fitted out with the most advanced seismic
technology commercially available, including the latest generation
Sentinel® solid streamers.
“Polarcus Naila is one of the safest and most environmentally sound
seismic vessels in the market with diesel- electric propulsion, high
specification catalytic convertors, DP2 dynamic positioning, and
advanced bilge water cleaning, enabling the vessel to conform to
existing and envisaged IMO and Class rules and to comply with DNV’s
stringent CLEAN-DESIGN and COMF-V(3) class notations,” said Scott
Jervis.
