Chouest’s Port Fourchon ‘one-stop shop’ designed to reduce turnaround time
David Paganie
The 348-ft by 78-ft by 28-ft subsea support and light well intervention vessel is equipped with DP3 capabilities, two ROVs, pipe and cable-laying capabilities, two cranes, and accommodations for 84 people. More recently, the company says it was awarded a six-year contract with Statoil, providing the sufficient financial support to build a new well intervention vessel.
In addition, the company announced plans to build several more vessels including three anchor-handling towing supply (AHTS) vessels based on a propriety hull design. The vessels will be built at Chouest’s North American Shipbuilding facility in Larose, La., with delivery expected in the first and third quarter of 2007, and in the second quarter of 2008. Chouest holds an option for delivery of three additional AHTS vessels. •
