THE TRUTH ABOUT OCEANIC 5000
MAN Diesel gensets for crane vessel
May 23, 2008
ZPMC's new crane vessel will have gensets provided by MAN BW.
MAN Diesel’s Shanghai organisation has successfully landed another engine contract in the specialised segment for large floating cranes and construction barges. A newly designed (DLV4400) heavy-lift floating crane from Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery Co Ltd (ZPMC) with a 4,400 tonne lifting capacity will be powered by seven MAN Diesel 9L32/40 gensets.
The total installed output of 31.5MW will supply propulsion power, power for manoeuvring, for the crane activities, and to the hotel accommodation load for 250 persons.
The vessel, which is designed to propel itself at up to 12 knots in trial condition, will also be equipped with a dynamic positioning system classed GL DynPos–AutR.
The propulsors specified are 2 x 2,000 kW tunnel thrusters at the bow of the vessel, 2 x 2,500 kW retractable azimuth thrusters at the foreship, and 2 x 4,500 kW azimuth thrusters at the aftship.
On the deck, the vessel will have a helicopter platform situated at the forecastle deck, and the revolving main crane will be installed in the after area of deck.
The hull for the DLV 4400 will be built by an as yet unspecified Chinese yard, however final outfitting and mounting of crane equipment will be performed at ZPMC’s own shipyard at Changxin Island.

This is it...after all the guts and struggles....Finally in Sharjah, UAE.
I had the feelings, long ago, that i wont be long in this company, Oceanic Marine Contractors (OMC).
The worst part is to leave the company, after a year of efforts and struggles, been put to. Lots of politics, conflicts of interest, bias in decisions making, unprofessionals, inexperienced personnel, few 'A**holes' onboard........and i've made it through...!
Well, there are also lots of good friends, and good times, altough, few worth to be mentioned, indeeed, those fews,are still something to remember !!! a tribute to those good colleagues onboard, or met.
nevertheless, that experienced gained, really made me to realize, hey.....that's not the end of the world......time to change.
Eventually, i went back to my previous employer ......the best employer ever.....
J.Ray mcdermott, now known as ( Mcdermott International ), with the best and the finest offshore team onboard the 'Queen' of Middle East.......
Team 27...Derrick Barge 27.
YES, it's a barge, but...it has that BEST REPUTATIONS EVER !!
