Australian shipowner MMA Offshore orders mud agitators for its AHTS MMA Chieftain, which is operating in the Middle East region.
Norwegian pump and liquid handling specialist PG Flow Solutions will supply a set of PG-Submix 80 hydraulically driven mud agitators to the AHTS (anchor handling tug supply vessel), plus hydraulic power unit and control system. This proven solution meets with the stringent demands of Saudi Aramco, in the most efficient way available. MMA Chieftain is one of several OSVs being retrofitted with these solutions.
The MMA Chieftain is a key marine asset for MMA in the Middle East region. The vessel supports various anchor handling, towing and supply scopes offshore from Saudi Arabia.
The PG-Submix 80 mud agitator is a slow turning, paddle-type propeller with large diameter range and very high thrust, generating up to 12.400 m3/h vertical primary pump flow.
This proven solution has also solved similar challenges on a growing number of drilling rigs around the globe, as demand for uptime rise in the challenging markets.
