DIVING SUPPORT VESSEL
DP1 CONCO III
The Conco III is a purpose built Survey/Diving
Support Ship designed originally for working in Arabian Gulf and Indian
waters. Since being built in 1985, the vessel was modified in August 1998
extending the overall length by some 4.0m from 41.0m L.O.A. to 45.0m L.O.A.
The extension has increased the deck area to facilitate the support of
ROV operations. A ‘Work class ROV’ launch and recovery system can now be
comfortably housed on the deck, together with all necessary ancillary ROV
equipment. At the same time as the vessel extension was carried out CCC(UE)
installed an Omni directional Omega Jet Thruster and Nautronix ASK 4000
JS DP1 positioning system. The DP1 system was specifically installed for
the support of ROV operations while at the same time enhancing the vessel’s
handing ability to support a full range of hydrographic survey operations.
The Conco III can comfortably cruise, if necessary from 0 to 4.5 knots
on the Omega Thruster alone without engaging Main engines.
