ROYSTON CONCLUDES SERVICE WORK ON GLOBAL OFFSHORE OSV

An 8-strong team of Royston engineers carried out a 40,000 running hours overhaul on two Bergen B32/40L8ACD main diesel generators onboard the 130m length Global Symphony while the vessel was moored in the Port of Blyth in the UK.

The job was completed in a tight 10-day time frame with engineers working around the clock in shifts to strip down both diesel engines, completing repairs and replacement of parts where necessary to the engine bearings, pistons, liners, conrods and cylinder heads. The units were then reassembled and tested for operational performance.

Engineers also checked the condition of the turbochargers before sending them to Royston’s specialist test and repair centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, where they were refurbished and rebalanced before being returned to the vessel, with no impact on the overall duration of the job.

The Global Symphony is a 2011 purpose-built IMR and ROV support vessel, undertaking deep water remote intervention, renewables, construction and survey work. It has an extensive 1,400m2 deck capacity and is currently involved in projects in the offshore renewables and power markets.
