About Huisman
Huisman is a company specializing in the design and manufacture of heavy construction equipment for various industries including renewable energy, oil and gas, civil, naval, and entertainment. Their product range includes cranes, pipelay equipment, drilling equipment, winches, vessel designs, and special projects. Established in 1929, Huisman has a history of setting industry standards with innovative technical solutions, from standalone systems to integrated systems, offering concept to installation and lifetime support.

Drilling Equipment
Huisman has been active in the offshore drilling market for over 20 years, initially providing cranes and pipe handling equipment. They developed the Multi Purpose Tower (MPT) in the late 90s, enhancing offshore drilling capabilities. Notable projects include the Noble Globetrotter I and II drilling vessels and the HuisDrill 12000 design. Huisman also introduced land drilling rigs like the LOC 250 and LOC 400, and is developing new rigs for efficient multi-well drilling. They supply equipment for well intervention, focusing on efficiency and automation to reduce HSE risks.

Semi-submersible Drilling Unit Orion
The Orion is an innovative self-propelled semi-submersible drilling unit designed for mid-water to ultra-deepwater operations in various environments. It features a flat main deck, a drill floor flush with the main deck, and a Dual Multi Purpose Tower (DMPT) for offline activities. The design emphasizes efficiency, safety, and environmental considerations, with automated drilling technologies and improved material handling.

Installation and Commissioning
The DMPT is a single integrated unit simplifying the interface with the vessel. It can be fully tested and commissioned quayside, reducing installation time. This approach allows simultaneous construction of equipment and vessel, minimizing complexity and installation time.

Main Advantages
The DMPT offers no V-door limitations, a hoistable floor, and a high payload/displacement ratio. The Orion class provides a larger payload with smaller displacement, featuring a flat deck and gantry crane. It is suitable for exploration, production drilling, completions, coiled tubing, wire line operations, well intervention, and X-mas tree installation.

Key Characteristics
The Orion's dimensions include a length and width of 82.8m, a height to the main deck of 24.0m, and a moonpool area of 6,500m2. It has a service speed of 8 knots and is equipped with cranes, a helideck, and a BOP with 15,000psi capacity. The unit has significant fuel, water, and mud capacities, and features recessed thrusters for low resistance and easier docking.
