Drydocks World builds second 3-D seismic vessel
DUBAI — Dubai, the region’s largest ship repair, conversion and new building yard and the flag ship operation of Drydocks World Group followed up its success in sophisticated building capability by building the seismic vessel NB65 for its client WesternGeco. A naming ceremony for the vessel, now called ‘WG Cook’ was held at the Dubai yard recently.
The ultra modern high capacity 12-streamer 3-D seismic vessel is the second built at the yard for WesternGeco, a businesssegment of Schlumberger and one of the world’s leading geophysical services company. The first vessel, WG Tasman was handed over in the first quarter of 2010. The vessel, now undergoing final touches, is 88.8 metres in length, 8 metres in depth, 19 metres in width and is of Ulstein SX 124 design, incorporating the innovative X-bow hull design for exceptional performance in speed, fuel efficiency, and reduced noise and reduced vibration. The Dubai yard took great care to ensure the ship’s functional capabilities meet the stringent demands of offshore seismic operators.
The diesel-electric propelled, DP2 class ‘WG Cook’ incorporates many features to enhance performance and complies with DNV Clean Design to ensure minimum emissions.
M. P. Singh, Director – New Building, Drydocks World – Dubai said: “The WG Cook project is the latest in the yard’s current portfolio of new building assignments. I congratulate the entire team that worked on this sophisticated project. It reaffirms the advanced newbuilding capability and reputation as a reliable and efficient ship yard.” — business@khaleejtimes.com
