The naming ceremony of the “UOS Challenger”, the second of 12 supply vessels ordered by German Shipowner Hartmann Logistik (Hartmann Reederei Group) took place today at Muggiano (La Spezia) Shipyard. The vessel was built at Fincantieri ‘s Palermo Shipyard.
The units are multi-purpose, off-shore towing and supply vessels, the first of which was delivered last February. After “UOS Challenger”, the other 10 units will be built at Palermo, Riva Trigoso and Muggiano Shipyards and delivered by mid-2010.
Hartmann Reederei is a leading global player, with a fleet of over 100 vessels including container ships, gas tankers and special units and currently has a substantial newbuilding program with yards in Europe and the Far East. Through its subsidiary Hartmann Logistik, the Group has extended its activities and now also provides logistic services with multi-purpose offshore vessels in addition to tug and barge services.
The ceremony was attended, among others, by Niels Hartmann, Managing Director of Hartmann Logistik and by Alberto Maestrini, Executive senior vice president Naval Vessels BU.
The “UOS Challanger” is 76,50 mt long, 17,50 mt wide, a 6,85 mt draft and a gross deadweight of over 3,000 tons. Equipped with four diesel engines capable of generating 12,000 kW, the vessel will be able to reach a maximum speed of 16,3 knots and to develop a bollard pull of 188 tons.
The new vessel has been designed to obtain the highest class according to US classification society ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) regulations.
The vessel will be able to operate in all offshore activities and carry out support services for oil rigs and exploratory platforms, open-sea towing, anti-pollution and fire-fighting operations, transport of dry and liquid bulk cargo.
The ship is equipped with a special system of large winches which enable it to safely carry out towing and deep-water anchor handling activities for the positioning of offshore platforms. Moreover, the ship may employ over 600 m2 for deck cargo stowage and will be able to carry dry bulk and liquid cargo required by offshore platforms.
Such vessels are especially characterized by high flexibility, a feature of the “Moss 424” design, developed by Norwegian company Moss Maritime (Saipem Group).
