Proving the design of the main reel holder was a particular challenge, requiring a number of tank modelling tests to ensure compliance. Mr Martin said: вЂњIt was quite a challenging design and naval architects undertook a lot of work well before the keel was laid to help get the novel design through the various regulations. The shipвЂ™s unconventional design also required a close cooperation between Class and Flag to identify and achieve an equivalent standard of quality and safety compared to a traditional vessel. Once drawings were in place, Mr Martin and fellow Senior Surveyor Carlo Vinelli analysed the proposal against statutory regulations to ensure the design of Seven Vega was safe and met relevant regulatory requirements. The large multi-level workstation optimises the efficiency of operations in and around the firing line, while the creative positioning of the main and auxiliary reels вЂ“ recessed into the main deck вЂ“ offers payload flexibility. The twin tensioner pipelay tower tilts to allow pipeline installation from shallow waters to depths of up to 3,000m. The design of the reel-lay system was focused on crew safety, total product capacity, operational efficiency and flexibility. While most Subsea 7 vessels store piping and cabling in large carousel holds under deck, Seven Vega stows the product on external vertically mounted reels recessed into the deck with an open-top configuration. The design of Seven Vega is particularly innovative. They are fantastic vessels equipped with amazing technology and I feel fortunate to have played a role in so many of the builds.вЂќ The majority are fully certified as Special Purpose Ships, predominantly designed for cable and pipe laying. He said: вЂњOur partnership with Subsea 7 has been in place for almost 15 years and the Registry is proud to have been part of yet another successful project.

Seven Vega has been designed to install economical flowline technologies that address the growing market trend towards longer tie-back developments, and sets a new standard for offshore pipelay.Д¬hris Martin, a Senior Surveyor at the Isle of Man Ship Registry, has been involved in nine Subsea 7 projects, starting with the pipelay vessel Seven Oceans in 2006. It is the eleventh Offshore Support Vessel built for Subsea 7 to be flagged with the Registry.
