Feature 5 | MEDITERRANEAN
The LPG project The project consists of the detailed engineering and purchasing support for the prototypes of three LPG carrier designs. A design for four vessels with a pressurised capacity of 7,000m3 has already been delivered. The first three are already in fabrication. Te first vessel in the series has been christened Oscar Niemeyer and was delivered in December 2014. A further vessel design, for two LPG carriers with a smaller pressurised capacity of 4,000m3 have also been constructed. GHENOVA is now working on a design for two semi-pressurised vessels that will each have a capacity of 12,000m3. GHENOVA is responsible for all the detailed engineering of the structures, piping, equipment and outfitting, the electrical, instrumentation and electronics systems, and HVAC and accommodation. The Brazilian team are using AVEVA Hull, AVEVA Outfitting, and AVEVA Cable Design, collaborating with their colleagues at the Spanish headquarters with the help of AVEVA Global.
Selecting the tool for the job With experience of Tribon, GHENOVA had successfully adapted to AVEVA Marine several years ago. Teir AVEVA deployment forms part of a suite of applications that enables GHENOVA to meet a wide range of client- and project-specific requirements. As a result, GHENOVA selects the design soſtware on a case-by-case basis. Julián explains: “Each of the different
types of soſtware that we use is one system within a diverse toolkit. Every client has different requirements and meeting those requirements is key. We don’t only design ships; among other things we also design thermal power plants, so our choice of soſtware for any particular project is usually dictated by the nature of the project and the client’s requirements.” As a result, AVEVA Marine was chosen
specifically for this project because it best matched Transpetro’s needs and was consequently mandated by Vard in Brazil. “Tis is an entirely new project for us, so it was essential to select a 3D engineering and design tool that could deliver true strategic value,” explained Francisco Cuervas, general director of GHENOVA.
