Brunvoll, a leader in maritime propulsion systems, has been awarded a contract by VARD for the delivery of a complete propulsion and manoeuvring system package for Dong Fang Offshore’s (DFO) new Offshore Subsea Construction Vessel (OSCV). The firm order covers one vessel with an option for a second, marking another milestone in Brunvoll’s growing portfolio of offshore energy solutions.
“We have great confidence in Brunvoll. We expect excellent service, strong performance, and long-term reliability from their thrusters throughout the operational life of our new OSCV. At the same time, we hope this will be the first of many Brunvoll thrusters installed across our future fleet,” says Mr. Polin Chen, CEO of Dong Fang Offshore.
Brunvoll’s delivery for the vessel consists of two azimuth propulsion thrusters, two resiliently well-mounted tunnel thrusters and a retractable azimuth thruster. The scope also includes Brunvoll’s Propulsion and Thruster Control system, BruCon PTC.
The DFO OSCV is of VARD 3 39 design and will have the following main particulars; Length over all of 121 meters, beam of 23 meters, 1.200 m2 work deck, and the capacity to house a crew of 130 persons in 90 cabins. The vessel is scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2027.
“We are excited to continue our strong collaboration with VARD, contributing to the advanced capabilities of Dong Fang Offshore’s new Offshore Subsea Construction Vessel. We are grateful for the trust Dong Fang Offshore has placed in Brunvoll’s solutions, and we look forward to supporting them throughout the vessel’s lifetime.“
This project exemplifies Brunvoll’s vision of being “trusted world wide”, by delivering reliable and efficient propulsion and manoeuvring solutions tailored for demanding offshore operations,” says Bernt Rune Riksfjord, VP Sales at Brunvoll.
