AME has three DP Class II Vessels used for Diver and ROV support. They are:

› Allied Centurion (ACE)

› Allied Conquests (ACQ)

› Allied Achiever (ACH)

The Allied Conquests, is newly completed vessel that was delivered to AME on August 2008.  The vessel was built in Europe and designed to take on the rougher weather in that region.  The vessel’s stability, tall sides and high freeboard are ideal for the diving activities that we carry out from the vessel.

 

The Allied Conquests is approximately 75m long, 15m wide with a 5 meter draft. She is a RINA classed DP II vessel equipped for diving & ROV support with a Kongsberg Simrad SDP21 Duplex Dynamic-positioning system equipped with 4 independent reference systems with a duplication on one of them, they are a Hipap Acoustic System, a Fan Beam reference, 2 x DGPS and a MK 15B/300 Taut Wire System. This vessel is equipped with a 25 ton crane on a single line or 35 ton on a double line, the capable depth of operation is approximately -140 meters.  The clear deck space on this vessel is just below 600 sq meters, with the 6 man saturation system loaded on the remaining clear deck space is approximately 350 sq meters.

The Allied Achiever, was built in 2001 at Balenciaga, Spain  and was operating at various locations  from the Gulf of Mexico to the Middle East. AME took over the vessel on January 2010 at Manama Port, Bahrain. She was built specially to work in shallow waters where it draws only 4.10 meters draft maximum. She was designed with 4.5m x 4.5m moonpool at the back deck which is good to launch a work class ROV and for diving activities.

The Allied Achiever is  approximately 60m long, 13m wide with cabins accommodated for 60 bunks. Simple and perfect design for offshore vessel. She is a RINA classed DP II vessel equipped for diving & ROV support with a Nautronix Dynamic-Positioning system equipped with 5 independent reference systems with a duplication on one of them, they are a ATS II Acoustic System, a MDL Fan Beam with prism reflector, 2 x Independent  FUGRO DGPS and a MK 15B/300 Taut Wire System. This vessel is equipped with a 45 ton crane on a single line and the capable depth of operation is approximately -300 meters. An A-Frame with SWL 5 tonnes at two ends and 20 tonnes at the centre beam. Though  the general look of the vessel is small, it has a clear deck space in excess of 300m2 at 5 tonnes uniform deck loading, with a 4.5m x 4.5m moonpool in mid-ship.

 

Vessel main engines are Caterpillars 3512 x 2  of 1200BHP each coupled with independent fixed pitch Azimuth thrusters with push and pull system, perfect design for position keeping and small turning radius. The engine consumes only 4mt diesel when on DP and 6mt when at sail gives a complete 55 days endurance to keep vessel offshore without coming in to port refueling.

 

The vessel carries all communication devices and has internet facilities. The mess room seats approximately 30 persons. There is a recreation room, smoke room and a gym onboard the vessel.
