Offshore staff
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, UK – Royston has completed service work on diesel power plant systems onboard Global Offshore’s IMR/ROV support vessel Global Symphony.
Eight engineers performed the 40,000-hour overhaul of two Bergen B32/40L8ACD main diesel generators on the 130-m (426-ft) long vessel while it was moored in the Port of Blyth in northeast England.
The 10-day time frame involved the team working round the clock in shifts to strip down both diesel engines, undertaking repairs and replacement of parts where necessary to the engine bearings, pistons, liners, conrods and cylinder heads, followed by reassembly and testing of the engines.
In addition, engineers checked the condition of the turbochargers before sending them to Royston’s test and repair center in Newcastle for refurbishment and rebalancing.
The Global Symphony, built in 2011, is designed for deepwater remote intervention, renewable energy, offshore construction and survey support, with a 1,400-sq m (15,069-sq ft) deck capacity.
