IHC Merwede has secured orders worth $474 million for a range of dredging and offshore vessels and equipment. The company’s Dredging division has received new contracts to deliver a large, custom-built trailing suction hopper dredger; 13 units to be supplied by IHC Beaver Dredgers; and a cutter suction dredger training simulator. The Offshore division has also received orders to construct a 300-t pipelay vessel, as well as a J-Lay pipelay system and a tandem mooring system.
In the Dredging division, IHC Merwede will soon start constructing its largest trailing suction hopper dredger ever produced for a Chinese customer, CCCC Guangzhou Dredging Company (GDC). This latest addition to GDC’s dredging fleet will be built at a Dutch shipyard.
The remaining 13 dredging vessels consist of 11 standard IHC Beaver cutter suction dredgers, a Delta Multi Craft standard work boat and a booster station.
In addition, Huta Marine Works has commissioned IHC Merwede to develop and supply a cutter suction dredger training simulator. This will be delivered with the previously-ordered, custom-built cutter suction dredger, now under construction at the IHC Merwede yard in Kinderdijk.
In the Offshore division, the 300-t pipelay vessel ordered by Sapura Navegação Marítima will be delivered with a pipelay spread supplied by IHC Engineering Business. This ship will install flexible pipelines in Brazilian waters, pursuant to Petrobras’ contracts for the charter and operation of pipelay support vessels, previously awarded to Sapura Navegação Marítima.
An additional offshore order from Petrofac includes the design and construction of a 2,000-t capacity J-Lay pipelay system. This will be installed on a new deepwater construction vessel in 2016, to lay 36-in. diameter pipe in water depths of up to 3,000 m.
The tandem mooring system - used for the safe mooring of the bow of an export tanker to the stern or bow of a FPSO—will be the 17th product of its kind put into operation by IHC Merwede in the floating production market. It will be installed on one of MODEC’s FPSO vessels in Ghana.
