DAY 1 TECHNICAL PROGRAMME
Aegir’s first project
Meredith Taylor, Heerema Marine Contractors
WHY INVEST INTO A NEW VESSEL?
•
•
•
Heerema is a key
player in complex
deepwater
construction for over
10 years
Maintain and expand
position in expected
growth of market in
complex high-tech
field developments
Heerema’s Objectives:

-
heavy pipelay
heavy lifting
heavy reeling
Heavy pipelay to 2000 mT top tension and 3500 mwd
Heavy lifting to 4000 mT capacity
Heavy reeling to 800 mT top tension + lifted reels
Use pipelay A&R system for deepwater lowering

Back-to-back compatible with DCV Balder

Worldwide operations
- Fast transit speed - Monohull
- Good workability in long swells
Choice for a mix of
high-end capabilities
–
–
–
Multi-purpose Deepwater Construction Vessel

Based on existing vessel design
