OSBV has worked with Lowestoft-based AKD Engineering to convert an existing OAS into a free standing skid mounted unit. The new design is said to allow quayside installation to be completed in a day and eliminate the need for structural modifications to the vessel to accommodate the pedestal both above and below the deck.
The 80m2 skid-mounted unit will reduce the footprint on the vessel leaving more deck space free for storage and workshop facilities.
The free standing unit is pre-commissioned and once installed on a suitable vessel with DP2, it is ready for immediate operation.
