McDermott’s DLV 2000 Gears Up for Ichthys Subsea Work
Monday 17 October 2016
McDermott’s DLV 2000 vessel has left Port of Broome on Sunday, heading to the Ichthys LNG project to undertake subsea installation work.
McDermott secured work on Ichthys for its 184-meter-long vessel in February this year.
The scope of work for the vessel includes lifting several Subsea Distribution Units that will provide the hydraulic, chemical and electrical distribution from the umbilicals to the subsea drill centers.
Furthermore, the DVL 2000 will install subsea spools and lay infield umbilicals for the project, located 220 kilometers offshore Western Australia.
This project represents the first assignment for the McDermott’s DVL 2000, a class 3 dynamically positioned vessel combining a 2,200-ton revolving crane with a deepwater S-lay pipelay system configured to install pipelines with diameters ranging from 4.5 to 60 inches in water depths up to 10,000 ft.
The vessel can accommodate up to 400 personnel.
