Marine Aluminium AS to supply Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. with a helideck.

Marine Aluminium AS is delighted to supply Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. ( HORNBECK OFFSHORE? ) with a helideck for its new conversion project. The 21m helideck has a landing capacity of up to Sikorsky S-92-sized helicopters.

Hornbeck Offshore will convert?one of its recently acquired 280-foot offshore supply vessels (OSV) to a service operation vessel (SOV) to meet the growing demand of the U.S. Offshore wind market, as well as to serve the demands of the offshore flotel market. The Marine Aluminium AS helideck will be supplied from Norway as a kit package for final assembly at the Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc. shipyard. The helideck will be equipped with a Deck Integrated Fire Fighting System (DIFFS), CAP 437 9th ed compliant lighting, stairs and accessways and other equipment necessary for its safe operation. In addition, Marine Aluminium will design and supply the light-weight aluminium support structure for the helideck, which improves vessel stability compared to a steel structure.

“Hornbeck Offshore Services is a valued customer, and we are delighted to have received this order,” says Marine Aluminium Sales Director Arild Fr?kedal. “We are also very happy to contribute to another project in the growing U.S. Offshore Wind Sector.” This new order from Hornbeck Offshore is the latest in Marine Aluminium’s growing reference list of U.S.-based offshore wind projects.

In addition to helidecks, Marine Aluminium supplies outfitting, hand-rails, walkways, stair towers and many other aluminium constructions. To find out more visit our website at www.m-a.no or contact our Sales Team at [email protected].?
