DEME upgrades DP fallpipe vessel fleet

Monday, October 3 2022

General – DEME Offshore

In light of upgrading its fallpipe vessel fleet, DEME has taken the decision to invest in a new DP fallpipe vessel by purchasing and converting a bulk carrier.

DEME already operates some of the most well-known fallpipe vessels in the industry, ‘Flintstone’, ‘Rollingstone’ and ‘Seahorse’

An agreement with Pax Ocean Shipyards of Singapore was signed and the vessel will enter the yard in late October to undergo extensive conversion works.

This newest addition again confirms DEME’s mission to build a future-proof, sustainable and environmentally friendly fleet, and is in line with DEME’s strategy to deploy the most versatile and high-tech fleet in the industry.

Continuing DEME’s efforts to operate a fleet for the future, the new fallpipe vessel will be fully compliant with the latest emission standards and feature the latest environmental technology, including a battery pack for best-in-class fuel efficiency and more sustainable operations.

The vessel will be equipped with a central fallpipe system plus a large, inclined fallpipe in order to allow pre- and post-lay activities using rocks with larger diameters close to subsea structures.

The new vessel is set to join the DEME fleet in the first half of 2024.
