General Market Overview • The offshore sector expansion in the last years is linked to: • world increasing demand of petroleum and natural gas • deep waters exploitations > increasing of drilling and production and storage units demand * Clarkson research Service (Mar-13) OIL & GAS sector trend
* Clarkson research Service (Mar-13) AHTS and MPV Orderbook trend
Anchor Handling Harsher environmental conditions Increase of depth where the O&G industry is moving to Increase of anchoring system weight and more critical operative conditions Roller strength verification Winch arrangement and control Visibility from bridge deck Hull connections verification The AHTS stability become a parameter to keep strictly monitored Technical Challenges
Anchor Handling • “Anchor Handling” is specifically designed for support to off-shore and wind farm units: • roller strength, winch arrangement and control, hull connections • visibility from bridge deck RINA Approach
Anchor Handling STAB Additional notation showing the capability of tugs and supply vessels to handle anchors safely. Main characteristics: • specific stability criteria for compliance with Norwegian Maritime Authority • Circular – Series V RSV 04-2008 • based on extensive studies carried out by RINA on the effects of the forces transmitted by the anchor handling wire rope • this additional class notation covers also the equipment to be fitted on board, to allow the Master greater control of the ship stability RINA Approach
* Clarkson research Service (Mar-13) MPV Orderbook trend
DIVING SUPPORT VESSELS 2 type of system, Surface (up to 50 m) and Saturation (from 50 to 500m) have different characteristics which have to be dealt with in different ways: Maintaining position during diving operations Stability during handling of diving equipment Monitoring and electrical system to support the diving operations Hull structural arrangements related to the diving system This situation generate an high complexity of the system and relative certification scheme Technical Challenges
Diving Support Vessels • The additional class notation DIVINGSUPPORT is assigned to ships equipped with a diving system certified by RINA. • maintaining position during diving operations • stability during handling of diving equipment • hull structural arrangements related to the diving system • electrical system to support the diving operations RINA Approach
A new concept of classification is being developed on the basis of the requests of the Makers, Contractors and Associations (e.g. IMCA) of this sector ensure the highest flexibility in the construction, exchange, replacements of the diving system components keep the history of use and maintenance of each component avoid that ‘unknown’ components are installed in the diving systems Three levels of Class certificates A component based certification approach
main components can be combined in various arrangements, in order to constitute a primary system (Diving System) • the system can then be dismantled and re-combined, substituting or adding some components, for other campaigns • the three levels of certificates will grant the possibility to exchange/replace components (main or basic) on a primary system without affecting its Class Certificate. RINA Approach
each component (principal, main and basic) is provided with a proper certificate of Class, which follows the component during its life, including the lay up periods • this system guarantees the execution of the necessary periodical surveys, defined by the Manufacturer and approved by Class RINA Approach
SHIP NAME XXXXXxx RINA Rules for OSV • Stand alone classification rules for OSV • Expected issue date: July 2013 • Portfolio of dedicated additional Class Notations and services to increase the Class value • Full information support through Leonardo INFO and EASY RINA Aproach
