Greatship Mohini is the second vessel that Keppel Singmarine has built for Greatship
Keppel Singmarine, the specialised shipbuilding arm of Keppel Offshore & Marine Limited, has recently delivered five ships.
These five vessels, including a multi-purpose supply and support vessel (MPSSV), an anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel and three tugs have all demonstrated exceptional performance and exceeded their contractual bollard pull and speed during the sea trials.
Hoe Eng Hock, executive director of Keppel Singmarine, said, “These successful vessel deliveries reinforce Keppel Singmarine’s ability and commitment to provide reliable and versatile solutions that meet the requirements of offshore frontier.”
Greatship Mohini, a MPSSV was delivered to Greatship Global Offshore Services (Greatship), a member of the Great Eastern Shipping Group of India. This 94m long vessel is equipped with two electrically driven 2,600kW azimuth thrusters and three 1,050kW tunnel thrusters to achieve a DP II capability. Greatship Mohini is the second vessel that Keppel Singmarine has built for Greatship. This vessel has since been acquired by Norwegian offshore shipping company, Rem Offshore ASA.
The Company also delivered Hadi 28, an AHTS to its regular client Hadi H. Al-Hamman Establishment (Hadi) for deployment in Saudi Arabia. The 80-tonne bollard pull vessel is equipped with dynamic positioning system and azimuth thrusters to enhance its position keeping and manoeuvrability.
In addition, two 50-tonne bollard pull twin-screw azimuth stern drive (ASD) tugs, Mirbat and BT Bontang 08, have been delivered to Salalah Port Services Company SAOG of the Sultanate of Oman and PT. Badak NGL in Indonesia respectively. Meanwhile in China, Keppel Nantong Shipyard has also delivered a 65-tonne bollard pull twin-screw ASD tug, KST 56, to Keppel Smit Towage.
All three tugs are of proprietary MTD design developed by Keppel Singmarine’s technology unit, Marine Technology Development.
