Naval architecture and marine engineering firm Guido Perla & Associates, Inc. (GPA) has released details of the two platform supply vessels that BAE Systems is building at its Jacksonville, FL, shipyard for Jackson Offshore Operators, LLC under a contract that includes options for two further vessels (see earlier story).
GPA was awarded a contract to deliver the Design, Regulatory Design and Production Engineering for the Jones Act qualified, 252 ft x 60 ft vessels, which are being built to its GPA 675J design.
Throughout the design and engineering process, GPA worked closely with Jackson Offshore Operators to meet all operational requirements, giving the ships the features and functions that operators and crew members appreciate during operation and maintenance.
The result is a customized vessel with optimized cargo capacity, improved fuel consumption, ease of maintenance, redundancy, excellent maneuverability, superb seakeeping and highest safety and comfort standards for the 34 crew members the vessel can accommodate.
"We see it as a vote of confidence that GPA was chosen as such an integral part of this fleet expansion and are continuing to develop our partnership with Jackson Offshore Operators," says Guido Perla, Chairman of GPA.
