‘Fugro Resilience’ PSV given new role

Vessel builders Ulstein Verft completed the conversion of the Fugro Resilience, an Ulstein PX121 design, at the end of last year.

“The primary conversion work has been implementing a moonpool and removable mezzanine deck and building the foundation for a geotechnical drill tower and an A-frame to prepare Fugro Resilience for new assignments in the offshore wind sector,” says Ulstein. “The conversion included modifying the internal vessel systems to meet Fugro’s needs.”

Both Fugro and Ulstein collaborated on the conversion of the vessel, and as Ulstein had designed the original vessel it was best suited for the project.

“During the design phase, multiple deck layouts were considered before settling on the best layout for each sister vessel,” said Lawrence Cozens, project director at Fugro. “Ulstein then successfully completed the conversion project on time and within the agreed budget.”

“We have all the necessary resources at hand, so we can work efficiently and secure quality in our work,” said Martin Sundgot Hansen, aftermarket sales manager with Ulstein Verft.
