Thoma-Sea Building 4000 HP OSV

The new off shore supply vessel building at Thoma-Sea Shipyard in Houma Louisiana is, at 220-feet, the classic length for these boats in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time this state-of-the-art vessel incorporates, within its 48-foot bean and 16-foot molded depth, the latest in OSV technology. Her main engines will be a pair of IMO compliant Cummins QSK60 engines each delivering 2000 hp at 1800 RPM. The mains will turn a pair of Rolls Royce azimuthing drives.

Built to a Frank Basil design, the vessel will have two KTA19DM-1 powered 425 Kw ship service generator sets. A 640 hp Cummins KTA19M-3 coupled to a Twin Disc MG5195 gear will power the bow thruster. While the builders will retain ownership, it is reported that Joel Broussard of Gulf Offshore Logistics will operate the vessel.
