Kongsberg Maritime is to supply an integrated Dynamic Positioning and manoeuvring system to Allsea's latest construction vessel, Pieter Schelte.
The technology relies on a distributed and open system design, which employs a fully backed-up system-wide standardised communication network, integrating the K-POS Dynamic Positioning, K-Thrust thruster control, and K-Chief machinery automation systems, into a complete solution with positioning and manoeuvring capabilities.
Pieter Schelte will be one of the most advanced construction vessels in operation, and is due to enter service in 2011. For field abandonment/lifting operations, the vessel will have a capacity to handle topsides of 48,000 metric tons and jackets up to 25,000 metric tons. In pipe laying mode, with a tension capacity of 1,500 (upgradeable to 2,000) metric tons, Kongsberg says that the vessel will outstrip the existing global fleet.
The vessel employs two fully equipped redundant bridges; forward and aft (in separate fire zones). The equipment communicates either via the redundant LAN network or via the alternative also redundant serial network, allowing the two bridges to provide full redundancy for each other.
