the fatigue loading inherent in a piece of equipment that
will spend the majority of its life offshore. This results in
the lightest possible structure, helping vessel stability whilst
maintaining the high capacity of the system.
Petrofac have placed great emphasis on the ‘green’
credentials of the
JSD6000
. Much effort has gone into
fuel efficiency, recycling of waste power, pollution
protection well in excess of current regulations and working
environments designed for safe operations and crew
wellbeing.
The
JSD6000
is truly a remarkable concept – a super-
efficient multi-role system maximising operational
uptime whilst minimising the need for secondary support
vessels. IHC Engineering Business is proud to have been

selected as a partner in this project and moreover in
the latest developments of J-lay technology which have
been designed into every aspect of the pipelay system.
Partnership working setting new standards in challenging
market conditions.
Whilst
JSD6000
represents the current pinnacle of
J-lay technology, innovation is also in evidence on the
full range of pipelay equipment and subsea vehicles in
the IHC portfolio. The expanding fleet of flexlay vessels
– fully integrated with IHC mission equipment – is rapidly
exceeding expectations in operation in Brazil.
Against a background of low oil prices and budget
cuts, IHC and Petrofac are looking to the future with an
investment in industry-leading assets to match the new
realities in offshore construction. The use of innovative
technologies in all aspects of the new vessel and mission
equipment will place the
JSD6000
in a unique position to
face the challenges of future mega projects.
For IHC, this project confirms the direction of travel
and secures the company’s position as a leading technology
innovator.
