JFD Wins Submarine Rescue System Contract

James Fisher and Sons said its subsidiary JFD has been awarded a multimillion dollar contract for the design and build of submarine rescue equipment but no further details are yet available. The company recently completed the delivery of a range of saturation diving products rated to a depth of 500 meters for a leading offshore service provider, a world first. The products were developed as part of a saturation diving system and include environmental control systems, gas reclaim and life support products, allowing complex offshore operations to be conducted efficiently in the safest possible conditions.

frame, a vital component in the rescue evolution is ensuring the fast and efficient installation of the rescue assets onto a suitable VOO.This complex engineering challenge will more than likely be done in very short timescales and demand the efforts of many multi skilled engineers to ensure the rescue equipment can seamlessly be embarked onto a vessel without any time delays. The teaming agreement with Malin React will ensure there is a dedicated and experienced global pool of engineers on standby ready to support both the mobilization and embarkation phases.  Richard Devlin, Head of Operations

Turkish Navy Performs Submarine Rescue Training

TCG İnebolu. When TCG İnebolu arrived to the location of the distressed submarine, the ADS was lowered to the submarine. The pilot inside ADS connected fresh air supply from the surface to the submarine. The circulation of the fresh and used air is vital for the bottomed submarine until further rescue equipment arrives to the scene. The ADS known as Hardsuit Quantum 1200 by its manufacturer,  Oceanworks, is in operation since 2007 and can operate till 365 meter of depth.  Although it is very risky to submerge a person to such depths having a human on the scene can have some advantages

.” In support of the EnBW Baltic 2 effort, L-3 will supply and install low-voltage switchgear and transformers and all lighting, in addition to providing and installing ventilation facilities, sea markings and sonar transponders, as well as a comprehensive range of automated safety and rescue equipment and the corresponding cable installations. L-3 will also provide the sea markings for the offshore transformer substation. The second largest wind farm venture in the Baltic Sea, following earlier inauguration of the EnBW Baltic 1 wind farm in 2011, the new farm is located close to the border

Polarcus Innovation in Seismic Vessel Design

up to 1 metre thickness without the assistance of icebreaker. The hull is ice-reinforced and the vessel has de-icing and ice-preventing systems at critical tanks, pipelines and systems, and the propellers, gears and thrusters are dimensioned for withstanding operations in ice. Escape corridors and rescue equipment are also protected against icing during Arctic operations. The hull form is not really icebreaking, why the intention is to do the work in open water. 3D seismic acquisition will only take place in ice-free water. The Arctic qualities of the vessel enables the vessel to relocate through ice

Arctic-Ready Seismic Workboat Davits

and is designed and built for operations in Arctic waters. Vestdavit has supplied two PLR-11000 workboat davits and one PLR-3600 MOB davit for the vessel. Vestdavit is proud to be the sole supplier of workboat davits to Polarcus’ fleet of eight advanced seismic vessels. Escape corridors and rescue equipment on the vessel are protected against icing during arctic operations. Although 3D seismic acquisition will only take place in ice-free, or possibly bergy water conditions, the Arctic qualities of the vessel enable it to move through ice on the way to and from the survey area, or remain in icy
