The Danish wind turbine maintenance vessel MHO APOLLO (ASA103) successfully completed its sea trials.
On May 21, 2021, the high-performance hybrid wind power maintenance vessel MHO APOLLO (ASA103), built by Yinghui Southern, successfully completed its sea trial.
The MHO APOLLO has an overall length of 35.3 meters, a width of 11 meters, and a draft of 1.53 meters. It uses a Volvo IPS and Danfoss DC hybrid power system. The sea trial passed practical tests including speed determination, stopping test, turning test, DP dynamic positioning, and motor 0 to 100% load acceleration test. The speed meets the contract requirements, the heading is stable, and the noise in each cabin meets the requirements of DNV specifications and the MLC2006 International Labour Organization Convention concerning the accommodation of crews.
MHO APOLLO and MHO ASGARD are sister ships of the same project. Construction of this series of vessels began in July 2020. The successful completion of this sea trial took a total of 11 months. Delivery to the ship owner is planned for the end of May 2021. This is another successful project for Yinghui Southern, demonstrating their commitment to quality, schedule, and delivery despite the challenges of the pandemic.
