‘Jaya Vigilant’ delivered

The new vessel, which complies with the SPS Code 2008, has 1,000m² of clear deck space, a fast rescue craft and FiFi One for emergency response.

Venkatraman Sheshashayee, CEO, Jaya Holdings, said: “The vessel has a 50 tonne subsea crane with active heave compensation for service in water depths of up to 3,000m. We have installed two HiPAP ultra short base line transponders to give very accurate station keeping for subsea work, in addition to the standard DGPS and Cyscan systems on board.”

It also features full under deck cargo capacities for mud, bulk, brine and marine gas oil and additional power supplies to support the seabed coring, ROV and hydro-graphic survey spread requirements.

Jaya Vigilant sailed from Jaya’s shipyard in Batam earlier this week and was immediately hired by its charterer for work in East Africa.

Under the contract, it will load a Remotely Operated Vessel (ROV) spread and mobilise across the Indian Ocean to load further subsea equipment for the client in Durban in October.

“In order to save our clients mobilisation time and cost, the vessel was delivered fully equipped with a mezzanine deck for the ROV spread, additional cables, survey area on the bridge and additional satellite broadband internet connection in place,” Mr Sheshashayee added.

Jaya’s Batam yard is now set to deliver a DP2 work boat and two DP2 ROV support vessels.
