Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong Shipyard bags US$291.6m contract

It will be building an accommodation semi submersible rig scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2014.

The accommodation semi-submersible rig will be built based on the GVA 3000E design. Featuring the latest technology, the GVA 3000E design accommodation semi submersible rig is capable of semi-submersible operating gangway connected in deep water and in harsh environments alongside fixed platforms, floating platforms and Floating Production and Offloading vessels, with a full complement of deck cranes and fire-fighting capabilities.

The 450-person capacity Dynamic Positioning 3 unit will be built in compliance with stringent Norwegian offshore health and safety standards and is suitable for harsh environment operations in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Floating semi-submersible accommodation rigs are needed to provide additional living submersible quarters for offshore personnel. Such support is required during hook-up and commissioning in the development phase maintenance and upgrading during the phase, production phase, as well as for the decommissioning phase.
