The fire broke out on the offshore platform #10 of SOCAR’s Gunashli field on December 4 2015 after an underwater high-pressure gas pipeline was damaged in strong storm. As many as 33 people were rescued in a large-scale operation. Maatsuyker is proud to have provided brokerage and technical advice on the design and construction of this craft.
Incat, the Australian shipyard, has awarded MAN Diesel & Turbo the contract to supply the engines for the ‘KatExpress 3’, a high-speed ferry newbuilding. In total, 4 × 20V28/33D STC engines, each delivering 9,100kW, will drive the four waterjets that will power the 109-m, wave-piercing catamaran for Mols-Linien, the Danish ferry operator. Lex Nijsen – Head of Four-Stroke Marine – MAN Diesel & Turbo, said: “This is an important order for us and a welcome addition to our existing references in the high-speed ferry segment. It is a technically-enhanced, repeat order with our newest, state-of-the-art engine; a success that builds on our ability to deliver engines with unrivalled fuel consumption
