Skandi Acergy

Aker Yards (Norway) has delivered subsea construction vessel the Skandi Acergy, to DOF Subsea ASA. The vessel, 157 meters in length and 27 meters in breadth, is designed for deep water operations, with depths to more than 3 000 meters.

Equipped astern with two azimuth propellers and one controllable pitch propeller (frequency controlled) she is set for various weather and operating conditions. Forward she is equipped with two tunnel thrusters and two retractable azimuth thrusters.

The Aker OSCV 06 L is designed by Aker Yards Project in Ålesund, the hull is built at Aker Yards in Romania, and Aker Yards Søviknes was responsible for the outfitting and completion of the Skandi Acergy.
