U.S. engineering company McDermott has revealed its modification plans to convert the Amazon construction vessel to an ultra-deepwater J-Lay vessel.
McDermott said on Tuesday that the modifications of the Amazon include a new J-Lay system that would allow the vessel to install hex-joints up to 24 inches in diameter.
The Amazon is operated by McDermott under a long-term bareboat charter that started in 2017. The vessel is equipped with twin 400 metric ton cranes and accommodations for 200 personnel.
