Ocean Installer and Solstad Offshore receive high-capacity subsea vessel
Normand Vision, the advanced construction support vessel (CSV) ordered by Ocean Installer and Solstad Offshore, has been delivered by VARD and is now ready for offshore operations.
The vessel, which is owned by Solstad Offshore, will operate on a long-term charter with Ocean Installer for a minimum of 8 years.
Headed for the Norwegian Continental Shelf
The vessel will be the third in Ocean Installer’s fleet of operated subsea vessels, following Normand Mermaid and Normand Clipper, both chartered from Solstad Offshore. It will immediately take on several comprehensive projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including for Statoil and A/S Norske Shell.
Normand Vision is the result of the close co-operation between Solstad Offshore, VARD and Ocean Installer. The vessel is designed to operate efficiently under demanding conditions and is well fitted for SURF (subsea, umbilicals, risers, flowlines) operations. The vessel is 156.7 m long, 27 m wide and has a cargo deck area of 2100 m2.
More specifications
Normand Vision is equipped with a 150t VLS and a 3000 t below deck carousel, ROVs in hangars launched through moonpools, and two AHC offshore cranes (400 t and 100 t) that can both operate down to depths of 3000 m.
The Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry, Mrs. Monica Mæland officially gave Normand Vision her name, and acted as godmother in a ceremony that took place at Vard Søviknes on the 2nd of July 2014.
