M/S Eva 316 for
Estonian Maritime Administration
M/S Eva 316 conversion to Pärnu Bay
ice breaker and oil combatting vessel
has been ordered from a Tallinn based
shipyard BSRLT – group. Eva 316 is a
sister vessel to Seili and Letto.
he yard has ordered the workshop drawings also to be carried
out by ILS.
ILS has realized modification design work of M/S Seili, which has
been lengthened by 7.8 m in the middle
part and provided with open water and
ice oil recovery systems and storage tanks.
The modification works included a
total rebuild of the propulsion system and
comprised the installation of two Steerprop
T
SP 25 units as a part of the new dieselelectric propulsion system.
A contract of the modification work
was signed at the end of January 2003 between the Owners, Finnish Maritime Administration, and the yard, Aslemetals Oy.
The oil combatting responsible partner is
the Finnish Environmental Institute.
ILS was responsible for workshop
design work for the yard. M/S Seili conversion was carried out in the Aslemetals Oy
Olkiluoto Yard and delivered in February
2004. M/S Seili has been outfitted also for
emergency towing and fire fighting purposes.
The vessel center part of the M/S Eva
will be same as in Seili, but the bow and
stern will be completely different. M/S Eva
316 will have the diesel electric azimuth
propulsion of 2x 2200 KW, as the new propulsion power in Seili after the conversion
was 2x1100 KW. The stern will be rebuilt
correspondingly. Eva 316 will also get a totally new ice breaker bow.
M/S Eva 316 will be rebuilt during
2005.
A sister ship for M/S Seili, EVA316 in
Tallinn has also been studied by ILS in order to investigate possibilities for modifying her also into an oil combating vessel
and additionally into an ice breaker to
Pärnu Bay area. A preliminary study in cooperation with Helsinki University of Technology Arctic Navigation Unit was carried
out during winter 2004-2005 and the results show, that a multipurpose EVA 316
will be possible.
