Offshore Support Vessels
At Ruyter Offshore, we understand the critical role that efficient transportation plays in the oil & gas industry. That’s why we’re proud to offer cutting-edge and sustainable bulk material and (drilling) fluid management solutions designed to optimize operational efficiency.
Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs) and Offshore (drilling) rigs are essential assets in offshore operations, equipped with advanced technology to efficiently handle the transport and support of critical supplies and equipment. These vessels are designed to meet the unique demands of offshore environments, ensuring seamless operations, safety, and reliability for offshore drilling and production.
Our applications
Key Features and Benefits
Operational Efficiency: Our dry bulk material and (Drilling) fluid management systems are designed due to exact flow calculations to streamline your cargo flow, to guarantee operational efficiency, minimizing downtime and enhancing delivery of materials when you need them.
Environmental Sustainability: Through optimized energy usage and reduced emissions, our cargo management solutions are environmentally responsible for offshore operations. Due to the closed loop capabilities of all our systems, there will be no material spill to the environment.
Enhanced Safety: Safety is our top priority. Our solutions feature state-of-the-art monitoring systems and automated equipment, reducing the risk of accidents and safeguarding both personnel and offshore assets throughout the operational process.
Tailored Solutions: Recognizing that each offshore operation has specific requirements, we offer customizable solutions, including options for specialized cargo handling and unique (cargo) optimized configurations. This ensures that your vessels and rigs deliver optimal performance, aligned with the individual needs of every project..
System Configurations
Offshore Support Vessels
Offshore Support Vessels
Sender Tank System
The sender tank system is a bulk handling system using several atmospheric, hull-integrated hoppers to transport cement and drilling powders from shore to offshore destinations. Material is loaded pneumatically from shore. Small pressure tanks underneath the hoppers are filled and pressurised for unloading to a rig to pneumatically convey the bulk material through the pipe and hose routing.
- Hull-integrated storage tanks
- Highly reliable pneumatic system
- High volume, small footprint
- Continuous bulk flow in dual mode
- High energy efficiency
- Various degrees of automation
- Small pressure tanks, less risks
Max. Cargo Capacity:Â Â Up to 2.000 T
Max. Convey Capacity:Â Up to 115 TPH
Offshore Support Vessels
Re-loader Tank System
The re-loader or double re-loader tank systems are used to store dry bulk material onboard offshore vessels. The system uses several atmospheric hoppers to store cement and drilling powders. The material enters a re-loader tank, which is then pressurised to convey the powder towards the rig tanks pneumatically. Vacuum is used to remove material from the hoppers.
- Hull-integrated storage tanks or freestanding modular design deck tanks
- Proven pneumatic system
- Maximum volume and minimum footprint
- Fully automated
- Only two pressure tanks needed, smaller risks
- Vacuum-Pressure System
Max. Cargo Capacity:Â Â Up to 2.000 T
Max. Convey Capacity:Â Up to 115 TPH
Offshore Support Vessels
Pressure Tank System
The pressure tank or P-tank system is a conventional system used on Offshore Vessels. The system deploys several pressure tanks to receive, store and discharge cement and drilling powders on board. Dry bulk cargo is fluidized in the tanks by compressed air, then discharged via the pipes and hoses to the rig tanks. The bulk material is loaded and unloaded pneumatically, using compressed air to convey the powder.
- High system reliability
- Option to use weight monitoring system
- Easy operation, using various degrees of automation
- Multiple independent systems possible, prevents contamination.
- Arranged with 4-10 tanks.
Max. Cargo Capacity:Â Â Up to 500 T
Max. Convey Capacity:Â Up to 115 TPH
