Measuring 254 x 54 x 19 ft. (77.4 x 16.4 x 5.7 m). Ocean Intervention is an MSV designed for deepwater installa- tion work. Two striking differences between this vessel and other offshore support vessels are its nearly flat bottom and two very large bowthrusters. The flat bottom was created to allow easier operation of remotely operated vehicles (ROV) and other equipment from the vessel's forward and aft 18 x 18 ft. moonpoools. Also implemented on the vessel are 6.5 ft. diameter bowthrusters — elements within the vessel's dynamic positioning system — that help to meet the ABS DPS-2 certification. The diesel electric powered vessel develops a total of 5.470 EKW from two Caterpillar 3516B and two Cater- pillar 3508 generators. Propulsion is provided by a pair of 2,000-hp-DC Aquamaster azimuthing thrusters (Z- drives) and two 1,000-hp Kamewa bowthrusters. The vessel's positioning is controlled by a fully redundant Kongs- berg Simrad positioning system. Able to carry 222,703 gallons of fuel; 3,000 gallons of lube oil and 74,371 gal- lons of potable water, the four deck ves- sel was constructed for the post delivery addition of a heliport, and is equipped with a 40-ton deck crane, 60-ton slew- ing stern A-frame and an anchor wind- lass. Circle 62 on Reader Service Card SCA Commercial Vessel Repair Contract Released The Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA) released a Commercial Vessel Repair Contract form for use by U.S. shipyards when negotiating domestic and foreign-flag vessel repair contracts. American shipyards are encouraged to propose the contract form to their cus- tomers. It is aimed at making ship repair contract negotiations more sim- ple and efficient, a goal shared by ship- yards and vessel owners and operators alike. The contract form, which can be found on the SCA website at www.ship- builders.org., includes several blanks that will be completed by users based on specific yard and vessel criteria. The drafters recognize that the form will need periodic modification. An ad hoc committee of SCA mem- bers prepared the contract form with input from outside law firms. The com- mittee members included Bruce Croushore from Bender Shipbuilding & Repair; Sue Kean of FirstWave Marine; and Andy Rowe of Cascade General. Circle 257 on Reader Service Card
