Rawabi 607 Self Elevating Lift Boat

In focus: ✔ Sharjah repairs ✔ Accommodation outfitting ✔ Engineering

Rawabi 607 is a 59m x 40m Self Elevating Lift Boat with Tubular Legs. She is owned by Rawabi Vallianz, one of the largest ship operators in Saudi Arabia. The vessel arrived in Albwardy Damen Sharjah yard to perform major works before going on charter with Aramco Operations.

Apart from the normal preservation and 5 years maintenance works, the vessel needed some major upgrades to comply with Saudi Aramco requirements.

Albwardy Damen Mechanical Team under the guidance of Berg propulsion, performed major repairs and serviced all stern and bow thrusters in afloat condition. Access over the water gave the Team some real challenges but all was performed in a safe and efficient manner.

Major modifications have been performed to the Foam Fire Fighting system including changes to the monitors / hose reels / main fire water tank. A complete New Deluge system has been designed and installed onboard along with larger capacity Fire monitors / Reels and main pumps to match with the client needs.

The accommodation was upgraded by our in-house Outfitting Team, who installed new VIP Cabins, a VIP Arabic-styled Lounge area and upgraded the toilet facilities.

All was supported by our Engineering team and Naval Architects who assisted with preparing all needed drawings to obtain Class approval for the modifications carried out. A great team effort by the Yard Operations team, Engineering, HSEQ team, ABS classification and the Owners’ team.
