Boiler plant order boost for Parat Halvorsen

In normal operation, the boiler is part of the hot water and heat recovery loop and supplies necessary additional heat to the HVAC, sanitary and tank heating systems on board. If an oil spill disaster should occur, the boiler will be re-mobilised to run as a steam boiler. The steam is used to maintain viscosity in the recovered crude oil emulsion in the ORO storage tanks, complete in accordance with the NOFO requirements.

For the Vard order, Parat Halvorsen will supply combined electric steam and hot water boilers each with a capacity of 1,250 kW for the company’s multi-purpose platform ships. The vessels are of Vard 108 design with a total length of 81m and a cargo deck area of 830m². They will be used for standby, rescue, firefighting and oil recovery operations.

Two of the ships will be built and are scheduled from Vard Vung Tau in Vietnam in 2015 and 2016 for the ship owner, E. R. Offshore. The other two ships will be built at Vard Aukra shipyard for the ship owner, Nordic American Offshore, and both are scheduled for delivery in 2015.

For Tersan shipyard, the boiler plants will be delivered for two freezer trawlers which will be equipped with Parat combined oil fired and exhaust gas boilers, type MCS, to comply steam production for the vessels’ fishmeal and fish oil factory.

Both freezer trawlers are designed by Skipsteknisk in Norway and will be of ST-116 and ST-118 design. Both trawlers are scheduled for delivery in 2016.
