Lita Ocean Delivers ZAMIL 80 for Aramco Operations

Singaporean shipbuilder Lita Ocean announce the successful delivery of ZAMIL 80, to Zamil Offshore. A 60-meter DP2, FF1 Fast Support Intervention Vessel (FSIV) equipped with SMART and IDM-A capabilities, classed by ABS. This state-of-the-art vessel will soon depart for Saudi Arabia to commence operations in support of Aramco’s offshore activities.

ZAMIL 80 represents the latest in maritime innovation, combining dynamic positioning (DP2), firefighting (FF1), and smart vessel technologies to maximize efficiency and safety in offshore operations.

Designed by Incat Crowther, the fast support intervention vessel is powered by four MTU 16V4000 diesel engines coupled to ZF gearboxes driving Hamilton HT810 Waterjets, providing a full load service speed of 25 knots. Manoeuvrability of the DP2-certified vessels is enhanced by three Hydromaster tunnel bow thrusters, allowing safe docking and unloading of cargo and personnel. Two of the main engines will be coupled to 1200 m3/hr firefighting pumps offering FiFi-1 capability.

The vessels’ main deck offers an expansive 250m2 aft cargo deck rated at 2.5 t/ m2 and a climate-controlled forward cabin featuring business-class seating for 60 service personnel in a spacious passenger lounge, as well as three bathrooms, an office, snack bar and well-equipped medical bay. The vessels’ 18 crew are housed on the hull deck which offers four two-berth dorms, two four-bed dorms and two single-bed dorms. The hull deck also features a large pantry, mess, three bathrooms and laundry. The health of the crew is also prioritised with an isolation room located behind a sealed door.

Lita Ocean extends its deepest gratitude to Zamil Offshore Services Company and all partners for their unwavering support in bringing this exceptional vessel to life.

ZAMIL 80 is the first of three fast support intervention vessels in this series, with the next two set for delivery soon, reinforcing Lita Ocean’s commitment to innovation and long-term collaboration with Zamil Offshore.
