Ultra-long towing distance, oceangoing tug. With a bollard pull of more than 300 t, the vessel is designed for towing very large structures over long distances, such as oil rigs or FPSOs from the building yards to the installation site at the oil field. The vessel has fuel capacity to tow at full power for 45 days. The vessel, and its 3 sister vessels, is designed by Ulstein and is part of the ALP Future class. The vessels are designed with a service speed of 13 knots, while their top speed is 19 knots. With a fuel capacity of more than 3,500 tons, they can tow at full power for 45 days, enough for non-stop Trans-Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean towing without fuel calls.
The vessels will also be outfitted with DP2 and anchor handling capacity to assist during the installation/hook-up phase for the towed objects, typically oil rigs or FPSOs from the building yards to offshore oil fields. The vessels are 88.9 meters long and 21 meters wide. The vessels will be classed with DNV’s Clean Design and Ice Class 1B notations, allowing operations in restricted zones. For their anchor handling role, the vessels will include a stern roller, a three-drummed winch with 400-ton hoisting capacity, and chain lockers for rig chain. The ships are also built with comfortable and spacious accommodations for 35 people, reflecting the long periods in which they will be sea.
The ALP Striker is a KONAJRA private design project. This model seems to be a forever work in progress. the digital design started somewhere in 2018 and due to all the commissions, we are not able to continue the design.
If the digital design is ever finished it is not likely the ALP Striker LEGO® model will be built. mostly because of its 225cm length en 60cm width. The Rear deck, winches, inner frame and details midship need to be designed.
