Norway: Optimarin Secures OBS Order

Optimarin has received order from Siem Offshore to supply and install its OBS systems on-board AHTS vessel Siem Opal. The Type Approved Optimarin Ballast System (OBS), is based on solid separation (filter) as pre-treatment and high doses of UV irradiation for inactivation of marine organisms, viruses and bacteria, without affecting the normal operation of the ship.

Ballast water is UV treated both during ballasting and de-ballasting to ensure the dual UV effect. Ballast water is only filtered during ballasting.

Siem Opal is a very large capacity Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel (AHTS) designed for towing and anchor handling, deep water inspection- and construction work, as well as to carry out regular supply and support duties for the offshore industry world wide. The vessel is of clean design, comfort class, environmentally friendly and optimized for low fuel consumption through hybrid diesel electric and mechanical arrangement. Consequently, such arrangement together with superior hull lines and SCR give extreme low emissions. The vessel is designed for deep water and ROV work equipped according to the latest industry requirements always focusing on HSE issues for efficient work and maximum safe protection for cargo and crew.
