Jacket installation
The ULAM offers huge benefits during jacket installations. The deck of about 151.0 m length and 62 m width offers an area of 8 000 m2 with clearance between legs of 26.40 m. During jackets installation ULAM offers flexibility with choosing operation modes. She can install foundation afloat as well as in raised mode. During installation in afloat mode the vessel will be relying on its dynamic positioning system. This allows for the shortest possible preparation time In case of very accurate position of jackets installation ULAM can install foundation in raised mode. For this purpose vessel is equipped with four 120 m length lattice legs with rack and pinion jacking system. Using this mode she significantly increases the chances of installation in worse weather condition. The vessel has been equipped with specially designed leg encircling main crane with range up to 3500 mt SWL on a radius of 40 m and range up to 2500 mt SWL on a radius of 60 m.
