GPA 254L AHTS

Services Provided:

  • Basic Design
  • Contract/Regulatory Design

The GPA 254L AHTS, measuring 57 meters in length and providing accommodations for 22 crew members, is equipped with environmentally friendly propulsion, resulting in lower fuel consumption than direct drive systems, thus producing far less pollution. The vessel’s propulsion configuration eliminates drive shafts and main engines are moved from below deck, resulting in a significant increase to below-deck cargo capacities.

The vessel provides liquid mud tank capacities and delivery capabilities typically found only in much larger vessels. Oval liquid mud tanks with a self-cleaning system provide maximum circulation and are more cost effective to clean than traditional square tanks.

The deck equipment may include one 2 mt @ 6.5 m deck cargo crane, one 250 mt SWL stern roller, one 1,500 m x 57 mm diameter wire storage reel and one 250 mt shark jaw. The DPS-2 and FFV-1 certified GPA 640 PSV is designed to provide exceptional maneuverability and maintain a speed of 14 knots at loadline. Currently, 54 GPA 254 L AHTS are under construction at Dayang Shipyard in China for Bourbon Offshore.
