Naming ceremony of three highly sophisticated offshore supply vessels was held on 10 September 2015 at Keppel Singmarine in Singapore: Bumi Uray and Bumi Pokachi built in China at Keppel Nantong Shipyard and Bumi Naryan-Mar built in Singapore. On 15 September the ships built to the class of Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) will take a departure to the Caspian Sea where they will be operated at V. Filanovsky and Yury Korchagin oil-and-gas condensate fields.
Bumi Uray and Bumi Pokachi have been assigned the RS class notation: КМ✪Arc4 AUT1-ICS FF3WS DYNPOS-2 supply vessel. The ships are designed for supply of offshore field facilities and provision of their safe operation; they are fitted with the systems for fire extinguishing on the fixed offshore platforms and offshore oil offloading system as well as with oil spill response (OSR) operations equipment.
Bumi Naryan-Mar has been assigned the RS class notation: КМ✪ Arc5 AUT1-ICS FF3WS DYNPOS-2 supply vessel. As compared with the similar supply vessels built in China, the ship is designed for 24-hour service in the hydrocarbon production regions and rescue operations, including fire extinguishing, OSR operations and other activity aimed at safe development of offshore field facilities. The Arctic ice class Arc5 will enable the ship to effectively operate both during the summer and winter navigation.
