MAN 32/44CR Units to Power Offshore Construction Ship
Multi-layer vessel – ‘Ceona Amazon’ – to specialise in pipelines and subsea structures
MAN Diesel & Turbo has won an order to supply the main gensets for a multi-layer vessel newbuilding, recently commenced by
Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven AG for British client, Ceona. The Ceona Amazon will be equipped with 2 × 9L32/44CR + 4 × 8L32/44CR
main gensets, providing a total output of 28 MW. Each engine will be constructed at MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Augsburg production
facility in southern Germany, and later transported to the company’s Frederikshavn, Denmark site for a full electrical test
before the gensets’ delivery to the shipyard.
The 32/44CR has gained a strong foothold in the offshore market due to its second-to-none power and SFOC. MAN Diesel & Turbo
reports the new order as being the third significant 32/44CR order the company has secured in the offshore market this year
alone.
The vessel
Based on a drill-ship design, the Ceona Amazon boasts exceptional sea-keeping characteristics making it ideal for operations
in remote and challenging locations.
The multi-layer vessel is a large, state-of-the-art, multi-functional, dynamically-positioned, construction vessel. The Ceona
Amazon has a large, under-deck storage capacity for line pipe or umbilicals, together with a large deck area that allows the
further storage of line pipe and standard, flexible installation reels.
The vessel is fitted with two heave-compensated mast-head cranes, and a single heave-compensated knuckleboom crane. The
pipelay system consists of an inclinedlay system and a rigid, pipeline firing-line system. The vessel can lay rigid
pipelines, flexible pipelines and umbilicals, and can install large, subsea structures using one or both of its cranes in
tandem-lift mode to 3,000 metres depth. It doesn’t require a spool base to support its operations and can be remotely
operated, making it extremely well-suited to overall field development.

remote locations. With extensive experience in the subsea construction industry, Ceona is currently upgrading its fleet and
