Singapore's SembCorp Marine has landed a $180 million order from Saudi Aramco for a self-elevating heavy-lft jack-up barge.

The vessel, which is due for delivery in the first quarter of 2010, is a four-legged, self-elevating heavy-lift, subsea pipeline repair and maintenance support unit, designed for operations in water depths between five metres and 60 metres in the Arabian Gulf.

The jack-up barge structure, machinery and the systems will be built for a life span of 30 years and with 15 moves per year.
