Veolia ES Industrial Services is pleased to announce the addition
of the DSV MT-6016 vessel--named the Swordfish--to its growing Marine
Services Group. Designed with cutting-edge technology, the new ship
was custom-designed to allow Veolia Environmental Services to take on
more complex sub-sea construction and dive-support projects. The
vessel is currently at port in Galveston, Texas, and will be deployed
during the month of December. The Swordfish will initially be assigned
to a contract Veolia Environmental Services has with Chevron's
Houston-based hurricane restoration team working in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Veolia ES' Marine Services Group, which includes a fleet of dive
support vessels, undersea remote operated vehicles and highly
qualified diver-technicians, is expected to grow from $7 million in
revenue in its first year (2005) to well over $100 million in 2007.
Mr. Denis Gasquet, Chief Executive Officer of Veolia Environmental
Services, stated: "The Swordfish will be the fifth vessel in our
Marine Services fleet and will strengthen our "deepwater" capabilities
to serve offshore oil and gas customers in the Gulf of Mexico and
around the globe." He added: "This strategic investment affirms our
capacity to offer marine and sub-sea services that combine high-tech
performance with safety."
The Swordfish was designed by Marin Teknikk and built by Kelven
Verft in Norway. It was designed to maximize deck and work space for
equipment, materials and supplies and is spacious enough to
comfortably house over 100 diver-technicians and personnel.
Onboard the 103.7-meter-long Swordfish, crews will travel at up to
16 knots and take advantage of the ship's cutting-edge technology,
including a moon pool launch and recovery area, and a 150-ton, heave
compensated crane designed to help keep loads stable even in heavy
seas. The ship will also have a 1,000 foot-rated saturation diving
system, which is currently under construction by VES Marine Services
in Appleton, Wisconsin.
