?Aker Solutions has designed the AMC Connector, a newbuild subsea installation and construction vessel targeting deepwater. The AMC Connector – previously called Aker Connector – will be equipped with two turntables for high-voltage power cables or subsea umbilicals: one with 6,000 tonnes of capacity on deck and another 3,000 tonnes of capacity below deck. With a total product payload of 9,000 tonnes, the AMC Connector will be able to take on highly complex and sizeable installation projects. At full payload, the 515 ft by 105 ft (157 m by 32 m) ship will have a transit speed of 16 knots. This makes the vessel a highly competitive alternative for installation jobs in remote locations.
In addition, the vessel’s design allows for safe and efficient operation in higher waves than most other high-end construction vessels, the company says. It will be equipped with two heave-compensated offshore cranes that can operate in 10,000 ft (3,000 m) water depth. The vessel also features deck flexibility so on-deck modules can be removed within two days, freeing up approximately 16,146 sq ft (1,500 sq m) of space, allowing transport and installation of large spools and jumpers as well as subsea structures and manifolds. www.akersolutions.com
