Boskalis Refits DSV Constructor

Boskalis Subsea Services has recently completed the Drydocking of the DP2 DSV Constructor.

Amongst the 5 years special survey other significant upgrades have been implemented related to the communication network, videorecording and distribution, power outlets on deck eliminating generators on deck, galley/messroom improvements and a new gangway.

Furthermore, the vessel has been repainted in fresh Boskalis colors and Royal Boskalis logo.

After the drydocking the vessel has returned to the Southern North Sea for continuation of saturation diving services in the UK Sector for well intervention & decommissioning services.

The fully integrated single bell SAT system is used with 9 divers in saturation, working in 3 shifts of 8 hours each with 3 divers in the bell per shift. The system allows for 12 divers in the system for rotation of the sat divers in order to exchange divers while the work continues. Furthermore, a surface supplied air diving system and a Panther XT Plus ROV system are onboard the vessel.

Boskalis Subsea Services has extended the charter for the Constructor in 2014 for another 6 years firm and will continue to utilize the vessel in the Atlantic region (North Sea, Med, West Africa).

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
