The UDP fleet modernization is underway!
The m/v "Kapitan Antypov" two main engines, two generators and gearboxes were dismantled at the ÖSWAG shipyard.
The main problem of old engines was not even high fuel consumption, but constant unpredictable repairs.
The Company was forced to keep additional crew on board for engine maintenance.
The Company used to bear the costs of finding and purchasing a spare part (it often happened that the required spare parts were no longer manufactured).
The Company used to lose income due to the idle of the vessel.
It is the problems with the engines that can turn the profitable operation of the vessel into a loss-making one.
Therefore, modernization of our vessels and replacement of the engines was such an important issue.
The works are performed at the ÖSWAG shipyard, but the UDP representatives have an opportunity to study in order to modernize the fleet at the UDP shipbuilding facilities.
🎥 Lifting from Fixed to Floating: Navigating the Challenges 🌊
Lifting components from fixed structures to floating vessels can be challenging, especially during the crucial touchdown and lift-off moments. These moments are critical to ensure the safety of both the module and the vessel.
At Conbit, we've made it our specialty to develop lifting solutions that tackle these challenges head-on. Here are some key strategies to mitigate the risks:
🔹 Ensure the lifting structure allows for high-speed lifting.
🔹 Equip the lift winch with sufficient capacity and speed to counteract sea motions.
🔹 Use a DP2 vessel capable of maintaining a steady position.
🔹 Meticulous planning of the entire operation, including a comprehensive HAZID process.
🔹 Have experienced personnel onsite to oversee the operation.
👇🏼 Some people claim that these lifts can only be done with motion compensated lift systems or motion compensated decks. What do you think? 👇🏼
While some argue that these lifts require motion-compensated systems or decks, our approach often makes the need for large crane vessels obsolete. By installing our lifting system directly on the fixed offshore asset, we enable direct lifts from a supply vessel, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution.

✅ After discharging 📉 her cargo, the #LNG ship shipboard management team considers a number of basic objectives 🎯 to complete during the Ballast voyage 🔵.
✅ These are the main objectives 🎯 for #SMT consideration :
👉 Cold conditioning of the cargo tanks 📉, resulting in the best possible cold state on arrival at the laod port 🌎 while optimising the use of the #LNG boil-off from the retained heel.
👉 Maintain cargo tank pressures 📈 within maker's recommendations, ie cargo tank pressure on a #membrane ship above 👉 70 mbarG or 1083 mbarA at all times. This avoids ❌ exposing the membrane to unacceptable levels of fatigue stress 🚨.
👉 Completion of any potentially disruptive planned/unscheduled maintenance 🚧.
👉 With operator approval, completion of any cosmetic maintenance 🏢 that is in or adjacent to a gas- dangerous zone 🚨.
👉 Completion of Engine Room maintenance on the ship's power plant 🏭, which has the potential for blackout, loss of way through the water or delay to the schedule 🚨.
👉 Completion of any alarm or trip tests 🚨 that could disrupt the schedule.
