Jaya makes first delivery for MMA

The Singapore flagged Jaya Majestic is ideally suited to supporting jack-up and semi-submersible rigs, floating production storage offloading facilities (FSPOs) and offshore construction spreads.

The 78m, 12,070 bhp vessel is equipped with a Rolls-Royce marine deck package, including a 300 tonne line pull winch and achieved 160 tonnes continuous bollard pull at sea trials. It has a high cargo deadweight of over 3,000 tonnes for supply operations and a deck area of over 600m² – around 20% larger than equivalent vessels in the region, providing users with extra capacity for rig support.

Jaya Majestic also features firefighting equipment to FiFi 1 standard and oil dispersant equipment, making it suitable for emergency response. It has an 18.5m beam, wider than most comparable ships in the region, giving it enhanced stability. Jaya says two bow thrusters and two stern thrusters give good station keeping in rough weather or heavy currents, and the vessel is classed DP2 certification by the American Bureau of Shipping.

It is expected that the vessel will begin operations in South East Asia this month.

“Jaya Majestic is one of our most sophisticated vessels and delivers on MMA’s strategy to increase exposure to high specification vessel classes. The delivery of Jaya Majestic is testament to the company’s technical competence in shipbuilding, which allows us to optimise our fleet to meet our clients’ current and emerging marine requirements,” said Jeffrey Weber, managing director, MMA.

With MMA’s acquisition of Jaya Holdings’ subsidiaries, the company now operates a fleet of over 60 vessels in major oil and gas regions in the world and are supported by four strategically-located facilities in Australia and South East Asia.
