Market segments Oil and gas As a result of global economic and political developments, oil and gas prices are fluctuating. Therefore, energy companies are investing in the optimisation of existing wells while searching for new reserves. However, because easily accessible resources are already used for production, these searches are focused on less accessible areas, such as the polar regions and deep oceans. In response to these developments, Royal IHC has expanded its offshore activities. It has gained a respected position in the market as a supplier of innovative equipment and complex...

Product groups SAPURA DIAMANTE Integrated offshore solutions The installation of pipelines for oil and gas transport is an important part of the construction of offshore infrastructure. These interconnect oil and gas wells to production centres, which are in turn linked to clusters of population and industry. The increasing demand for oil and gas has driven the industry to deeper waters, which makes the installation of the pipelines and infrastructure even more challenging. The totally integrated solutions offered by IHC ensure the delivery of reliable equipment. With a track record of...

Product groups Pipelaying Pipeline plough Innovative vessels Despite its compact design, the SEVEN OCEANS has a high payload and good seakeeping characteristics. All equipment is fully integrated into the design of the vessel, in the sense that it has been designed according to its functionality. At the same time, the seakeeping characteristics of the vessel have been used as an input for the design of the reel and the pipelay ramp. The redundancy required by the customer was substantially higher than the usual DP2, resulting in IHC basing the design on DP3 philosophy. A full width ROV...

Product groups IHC Supporter® class Integrated offshore solutions Communication networks and offshore wind farms require constant innovations in installation and maintenance. Innovative solutions for transportation, installation of cables and protection by trenching are a necessity in harsh subsea conditions. IHC’s cablelaying vessels and equipment are designed to meet the increasing demands of cablelaying projects, such as those for power and fibre optic cables. Innovative vessels The IHC Supporter® class offers a modular platform for cablelaying activities. An optimised cablelaying...

Product groups Cablelaying BOLD ENDEAVOUR Innovative vessels Designed for laying fibre optic cables, the BOLD ENDEAVOUR has a large cable storage capacity, excellent seakeeping properties and redundant cable handling systems. It is able to carry out cable handling operations under harsh conditions. IHC developed the hull form to provide excellent seakeeping performance, while also providing sufficient internal volume to allow integration of cable tanks with an extremely high capacity. The vessel can lay 8,800 kilometres of fibre optic cable in a single operation, which is equal to the...

Product groups well intervention Advanced equipment With a growing number of ageing oil wells and shrinking oil reserves, it becomes increasingly viable and important to maintain wells and extract the maximum amount of resources. Subsea well interventions pose many challenges and require much advanced planning. Our solutions provide a high level of reliability and flexibility. Well intervention vessels maintain wells and carry out the required technical services in deep water. IHC designs and builds these ships to offer a favourable return on investment through high-performance levels and...

Product groups HOS ACHIEVER Offshore support IHC Supporter® class modules Innovative vessels The HOS ACHIEVER is a versatile custom-built offshore support vessel that is suited to inspection, repair, maintenance, diving and construction activities. It is based on the IHC Type-22 design, which has been adapted for the vessel’s specific tasks with a range of advanced equipment, such as an A&R winch, ROV and cranes. The ship is capable of accepting two 12-man modular saturated diving spreads – allowing the vessel to change functions rapidly – and a modular pipelaying unit, which can be placed...

Product groups SEVEN ATLANTIC Diving support Integrated offshore solutions Business concepts of diving operations have changed significantly. What may once have been considered a record-breaking dive has become a daily routine exercise. Therefore, new technologies are required to reach new depths, and to perform safer and more efficient operations. The current developments in the exploration and production sector require a new generation of diving support vessels. The key factors to be considered in the development of these vessels are multi-functionality, optimal efficiency and worldwide...
