Maersk Minder deepwater anchor handler
The technology group Wärtsilä will supply its Wärtsilä HY Module, a containerized hybrid battery power and energy storage system to Maersk Supply Service, the Denmark based provider of offshore marine services and integrated solutions for the global energy sector. The Wärtsilä system will support Maerskâs goal of reducing the carbon intensity of its fleet by 50 percent before the end of this decade. The order with Wärtsilä was placed in May 2021.
The hybrid power conversion will be carried out on the âMaersk Minderâ, a deep water anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel during the early part of 2022. This is believed to be the worldâs first AHTS hybrid battery conversion. The expectation is that the Wärtsilä HY system will decrease fuel consumption, and therefor
Other drilling locations to be surveyed are Beboli, Temu, Inai, Cenmumur, Ruku-Ruku and Memali – all offshore Sarawak.
Seven firm wells
Shell last month awarded Malaysian drilling contractor Velesto Energy an estimated $17.68 million contract to drill seven firm wells offshore Sarawak and Sabah, East Malaysia. Jack-up Naga (Dragon) 4 will perform this drilling campaign, which is expected to start between 15 August and 15 October.
Naga 4 is a premium independent-leg cantilever jack-up rig that has a drilling depth capability of 30,000 feet and can operate in water depths of up to 400 feet.
Shell earlier this year conducted a survey of many of its considered drilling locations offshore Sarawak with the vessel Salvin Explorer.
