Pipelayer SapuraKencana 1200 Delivered

The SapuraKencana 1200, developed by Ulstein Sea of Solutions, is designed as a self propelled vessel with a 10-point mooring system for operations in water depths up to 200 meters.

Classed by ABS, the ship is also equipped with a DP3 dynamic positioning system, which enables it to carry out heavy-lifting installation of large-scale offshore structures such as platform blocks, modules and jackets, as well as S-type pipe laying operations in water depths of up to 1,500 meters.

Designed for maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness, the vessel features a center single joint firing line to optimize pipelaying operations that are not hampered by vertical motions due to roll.

The firing line and the single joint fabrication areas are on a tween deck completely covered by the main deck. This provides a clean and dry environment for the pipelay equipment and an unobstructed main deck.

SapuraKencana 1200 is 153.6 meters long, has a beam of 35 meters, depth of 16.8 meters and draft (operational) of 7.5 meters.
