Kongsberg’s Maritime division has been selected to design and deliver an integrated equipment package for six hybrid platform supply vessels (PSVs) for Dutch-Brazilian maritime group Compagnie Maritime Monegasque (CMM) in Brazil.
CMM achieved the top ranking in a Brazilian firm Petrobrasâ tender for the construction of six large, multipurpose 5,000dwt PSVs.
This achievement paves the way for CMM to secure 12-year charter contracts from Petrobras for new vessels.
The 92m UT7420 ship design, part of Kongsberg’s latest UT design range, features cutting-edge technology, and hybrid propulsion systems.
CMM CEO Christophe Vancauwenbergh said: âKongsberg Maritimeâs innovative ship design is integral to achieving our vision for more efficient and sustainable offshore operations. Their expertise and Brazilian presence have been critical to the success of this bid, and we are optimistic about final confirmation of the tender.â
Featuring oil spill recovery capability, the vessels are planned to be built at the Enseada shipyard in Brazil.
The vessel design also allows for future upgrades to ethanol fuel, which could further reduce carbon emissions by up to 70%.
Kongsberg Maritime offshore sales director Atle Gaasø said: âThis project represents a significant step forward in sustainable offshore operations. Our innovative ship design, combined with advanced hybrid propulsion and integrated solutions, ensures unparalleled fuel efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
âOur longstanding presence in Brazil, with more than 50 offshore vessels built and a dedicated team of over 200 engaged employees, enables us to deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of Petrobras and CMM. In addition, our experience and capabilities position us to effectively support Enseada Shipyard in achieving the high standards required for this transformative project.â
Last month, Kongsberg secured contract for a new fleet of ten platform supply vessels (PSVs) for Greek shipowner, Capital Offshore.
The vessels are planned to be constructed at Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding in China.
