DEEPWORKER
Scope of Work - EBDG's column-stabilized
and dynamically-positioned DEEPWORKER, work-over and subsea support
vessel, has a footprint of 260' by 104' to maximize open deck space.
It has minimum motion characteristics similar to drilling
semi-submersibles and is designed to meet ABS DP3 and DnV NMD Class
3 with required failure mode redundancies. The hull is designed to
provide well over 20 years of unrestricted worldwide service to meet
ABS and DnV SWATH or MODU criteria.
A 60' wide, clear center work alley between the
center moonpool and stern, with at least 10' of clear head room, is
provided to maximize all mission work areas. Dedicated marine
systems routing and vent lines placed within the upper hull decks
provide a virtually obstruction-free upper work area. The dedicated
ROV area allows for independent operations from the work-over well.
The hull is sized to support a payload of 1500 LT plus 10 percent
margin. The light ship budget includes a 15 percent growth margin.
The footprint has an adequate length-to-beam
ratio for speed and performance and supports a large payload plus
additional margin-over-mission requirements. The lower hulls are
designed with maximum parallel mid-body to simplify fabrication.
This structure will result in reduced fabrication schedule and cost.
The machinery system provides at least 75 percent excess power for
the propulsion and DP system to ensure adequate margin and load
sharing capabilities. Access and egress have been emphasized for the
safety of all compartments.
