MD of Working Boats UK Ltd, Chris Smith, is pleased to announce the conclusion of a comprehensive supply to the Caspian Sea oilfield and Teniz Services LLC of Kazakhstan.
The despatch of a container to Teniz of the fully profiled aluminium and extrusions for the 13m oil spill recovery barge, concludes the design and production process which resulted in a contract to supply the builders appointed by Teniz Services LLC, Mangistau Oblast Boat Yard LLP, Aktau, of a complete OSRV in kit form – the profiled aluminium and extrusions, twin engines (Cummins QSB230hp/Bravo stern drives) with all engine ancillaries (Vetus den Ouden), powerpack (Betamarine Kubota 90hp), a comprehensive hydraulic ring main to the Slickbar DIP gear, winch (Rotzler Titan), oil screw pumps (Lamor), fire monitor and pump (Rosenbauer and Desmi) by Hercules Hydraulics, all navigational and electronics and smaller items down to door handles, manual WC, helmsman’s seat (Norsap), lighting in the pilothouse and searchlights and floodlights.
The 13m barge was designed specifically for Working Boats UK by Bruce Sexton-Barrow and can carry 18MT of recovered oil. The refined bow shape was developed to avoid cavitation under the hull and makes this design particularly suited to water jet propulsion.
The barge will be manned and operated by Teniz Services LLC after crew training by Working Boats UK Ltd and Slickbar Inc.
Drawings of this vessel can be found on the Working Boats website.
