FS Abergeldie leaving Ulstein Verft

Ready for new adventures.

After a few weeks in our dock hall, FS Abergeldie shines as bright as the day she hit the water for the first time. A new coat of paint provides a fresh glow and protection for the rough conditions she operates in. 
 
During her stay, FS Abergeldie has completed a 15-year survey, replaced four tunnel thrusters, and overhauled two rudders and two main propeller facilities in addition to minor maintenance work. 

From start to finish, the experience at Ulstein Verft has been positive. Every challenge was met and overcome with professionalism and efficiency. Quality of workmanship and attention to detail throughout the project were of the highest standard. As company project manager for this vessel, I have no reservations in recommending the yard and the team for future projects with our fleet.

Inclining test completed on Orient Adventurer - Aftermarket services that keep vessels fit for new roles

Vessel conversions and re‑mobilisations demand more than drawings and calculations. Recent work on Orient Adventurer, now being prepared for cable-laying operations, demonstrates how critical in-depth knowledge of a vessel’s operational history is to deliver safe, class-approved solutions. Through Ulstein’s aftermarket services, we support complex vessel upgrades with engineering, stability, and weight expertise, including planning and executing inclining tests for conversion and life‑extension projects.

How Ulstein tested a new cable-laying vessel design

How can you be confident that a new vessel design will actually perform in rough seas and demanding operations? The answer lies in thorough verification, independent testing and documented performance. Recently, a new Ulstein design for a cable-laying vessel was tested in a large-scale ocean basin at SINTEF Ocean. The results delivered exactly what Ulstein seeks: confidence that the design performs as intended.
