       SBM Offshore与Solstad Offshore成立了一家合资公司，该公司已与一家选定的船厂签署意向书（LOI），订购一艘新建的下一代多用途深水安装及施工船。

 

        该船计划于2029年上半年交付，将用于支持海洋基础设施的安装，包括浮式生产储卸油装置（FPSO），这体现了这家荷兰公司致力于推动可持续蓝色经济的雄心——海洋基础设施将为此作出贡献。

 

       该公司称，新安装船在Normand Installer号的成功运营及现有合作基础上，结合了自身的安装专长与Solstad Offshore在海上支持船运营方面的丰富经验。

 

        据称，该船采用优化设计，可在浅水和深水区域安装海洋基础设施。当SBM Offshore的项目无需使用该船时，合资公司可将其租给第三方。

 

       新船将由一家合资公司拥有，其中荷兰公司持股49.9%，Solstad Offshore持股50.1%。Solstad Shipping将担任船舶管理公司，而SBM Offshore将为自身项目租用该船。

 

        SBM Offshore强调：“新船将使我们能够维持全生命周期的EPCIO服务，并通过提高交付可靠性和整合更多海上安装工作范围，创造额外的竞争优势。”

 

        “这反过来将降低客户的执行风险，并提高我们EPCIO进度和成本的可预测性。”

SBM Offshore and Solstad Offshore have formed a joint venture (JV), which has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) with a selected shipyard to order a new-build next-generation multi-purpose deepwater installation and construction vessel.

 

This ship, targeted for delivery in the first half of 2029, will support the installation of ocean infrastructure, including floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units, reflecting the Dutch player’s ambition that ocean infrastructure will contribute to driving a sustainable blue economy.

 

The company claims that the new installation vessel builds on the operational success of Normand Installer and the existing partnership, combining the firm’s installation expertise with Solstad Offshore’s track record of offshore support vessel operations.

 

The ship is said to feature an optimized design to install ocean infrastructure in shallow and deepwater areas. When not required for SBM Offshore’s installation projects, the joint venture may charter the vessel to third parties.

 

The new ship will be owned by a joint venture company in which the Dutch firm has a 49.9% interest and Solstad Offshore holds a 50.1% stake. While Solstad Shipping will act as ship manager, SBM Offshore will charter the vessel for its own projects.

 

SBM Offshore underlined: “A new vessel will enable us to maintain our full lifecycle EPCIO offering and create additional competitive advantages through improved delivery reliability and the integration of more offshore installation work scopes.”

 

“This will in turn reduce execution risk for our clients and improve predictability of our EPCIO schedule and cost.”
