MAN Diesel & Turbo wins the contract to provide a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for each of 6 × MAN 16V32/44CR engines
MAN Diesel & Turbo has won the contract to provide a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for each of 6 × MAN 16V32/44CR engines, the company said in its press release. The engines will power the ‘Petrofac JDS 6000’ deepwater derrick-lay vessel ordered in January 2014 by Petrofac, the international oil and gas services provider. At the time, Yves Inbona, Managing Director of Petrofac’s Offshore Capital Projects business, said: “We are delighted to be working with industry leaders on the design and build of the key components of the vessel.”
The SCR systems and engines will be constructed at MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Augsburg, Germany facility, while the vessel will be constructed by the ZPMC yard in China using a proprietary Petrofac design. MAN Diesel & Turbo and Petrofac have also entered a 12-year service contract for the management, maintenance and monitoring of the 6 engines. Vessel delivery is scheduled for 2016 with the vessel expected to be available for offshore construction and installation activities from early 2017. MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that its advanced technology and after-sales experience, as well as the lower running costs for the engines and their higher power per cylinder, were important factors in winning the contract.
The deepwater vessel will provide Petrofac with access to high-end, turnkey opportunities in the high-growth deepwater and SURF (Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines) markets, while also expanding access to shallow-water EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) projects.
