Toisa Orders Dive Support/Offshore Construction Vessel Merwede Shipyard received a contract for the design and construction of a new Diving Support/Offshore Construction vessel for Bermuda-based Toisa Limited. The vessel will be built under yard No 712 and will be delivery will take place in the first quarter of 2008. The vessel will be built in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of Det Norske Veritas, to obtain the following notation: DNV X 1A1, EO, SF, Dynpos, AUTRO, HELDK, DSV-SAT. The ship has been designed by Merwede Shipyard in concert with Toisa. It will be a fully Dynamic Positioned Diving Support/Offshore Construction Vessel, suitable for world- wide operation. As an enhanced sister vessel to the Toisa Proteus, but with a fully inbuilt saturation Diving System, this vessel can, and will, support a wide variety of subsea operations. Within the saturation diving market, the existing world fleet of such vessels averages more than 20 years old. This order will provide the market with a DP3 vessel capable of meeting the higher and more demanding standards in safety, dynamic positioning operations, saturation diving and the use of environmentally sensitive vessels. It will be built with a 12 man single bell saturation system. Its under-deck configuration allows for a range of equipment, while her large, clear deck area provides scope for a range of other applications. The increasing need for subsea con- struction vessels to accommodate large numbers of contractor's personnel has also been addressed in designing the ship to accommodate up to 199 persons (excluding any divers in saturation).
