Swiss ship manager Promar has launched its latest newbuild supply vessel, the Mamola Reliance, as it seeks to meet demand in the offshore oil and gas sector in the Gulf of Guinea.
The 80-meter platform supply vessel was built by Damen Shipyards in Galati, Romania. The vessel was developed in line with North Sea standards and is built specifically for deepwater operations, Promar chief operating officer Christophe Mansuy said in a statement. The Mamola Reliance has a draft of six meters, can accommodate a crew of 32 and reach a speed of 13.5 knots.
"It is prepared for remote-operated underwater vehicle (ROV) use and further benefits from an oil-spill detection radar, and a tank-heating system," Mansuy said. "The vessel is also equipped with FiFi 1 capacity and it is further compliant with Special Purpose Ships (SPS) – meaning it can safely carry additional personnel from port to offshore locations."
The Mamola Reliance was delivered to the Port of Barcelona in Spain where it will soon sail to the Gulf of Guinea on Africa's west coast.
In August, Damen will deliver the Mamola Reliance's sister ship, the Mamola Defender.
