Audacia

Highly competitive for pipelay projects worldwide 

Audacia’s dynamic positioning system allows precise operations even in congested areas, while a custom “plug-and-play” anchor mooring option supports shallow-water scopes, enhancing operational flexibility. With fast pipeline start-ups and lay-downs, Audacia minimises disruption around platforms, while the vessel’s bow-mounted stinger enhances transit speed, reducing downtime. 

The vessel’s 225-metre length accommodates generous pipe storage and multiple workstations. She features a high-capacity firing line, backed by fully automated line-up, welding and inspection systems, and a piggyback line for bundled installations, enhancing her production performance and efficiency, offering competitive advantages across global pipelay projects. 

Specials 

• Precise manoeuvring on full DP with a bow-positioned stinger for safe operations in congested areas.  
• Executes start-ups and laydowns in a very short time, minimising disruption to other activities near platforms.  
• Automated pipe line-up, welding and inspection systems deliver enhanced production performance.  
• Optimised for CRA pipe and subsea umbilical, riser, and flowline (SURF) installation scopes. 
• Hybrid power technology optimises energy use and cuts emissions.

Enhanced efficiency in pipelay 

Allseas first pipelay vessel to be retrofitted with hybrid power technology, Audacia optimises energy use during installation campaigns, lowering emissions through efficient power storage and load management. Batteries store energy when demand is low and deliver it back when demand increases, shaving peaks in power demand. The result is optimal engine loading with improved fuel efficiency and reduced running hours.
