Eastern Shipbuilding was tapped to build the new "Tiger" shark class PSVs for Aries Marine.
Court Ramsay, President and CEO of Aries Marine, announced in a joint statement with Eastern Shipbuilding Group that a Letter of Intent has been signed to begin construction of two "Tiger" shark class PSVs. The first vessel will be named the M/V Dwight S. Ramsay. The M/V Dwight S. Ramsay will be Eastern Shipbuilding and Aker Yards latest innovation in a high capacity, fuel efficient, environmentally friendly PSV design. The Aker PSV 23 DE design is an AC diesel electric, twin
Z-drive, ABS, A 1 AMS, DP-2, Solas, offshore service vessel. At 284 ft. X 62 ft. X 22 ft. the M/V Dwight S. Ramsay's double hull will exceed the new IMO regulations concerning vessels transporting fuel, drilling fluids or other pollutants and provide massive below deck capacities. The "Tiger" shark diesel electric design is designed to provide Aries Marine's customers with more than 15,000 barrels of liquid mud capacity along with methanol and voluminous dry bulk. With an engine room placed
forward and on the main deck level, the vessel's below deck space is opened up to accommodate a new, larger and environmentally sensitive tank arrangement -- a design that conforms to the new laws. In addition, the environmentally friendly vessel with its large generator package offers the customer spare power to run many different operations. These options include ROV units, accommodation modules and pipeline treatment systems.
