To support offshore oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Thailand, ROVULA (Thailand) Company Limited, a service provider of intelligent underwater solutions, partnered with Marsun Public Company Limited (PCL), a leading shipbuilder, to develop an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) that can be piloted remotely via satellite communication. This transport is intended to navigate the various challenges associated with pipeline servicing and inspection in deep-sea environments, thus reducing operation time and mitigating human risks.
However, in the midst of the project installation, Marsun PCL realised there was insufficient space within the engine room to accommodate the majority of marine gensets available on the market. As a result, the company turned to Thai Kolon, a renowned turnkey solution provider in machinery and marine equipment with over 30 years of experience in the industry, to identify a solution to the problem. By working with Rehlko, Thai Kolon was able to provide a suitable marine generator that meets Marsun’s load and safety requirements, thus securing the project and ensuring it can deliver its commitment within the stipulated timeline.
