波士顿/圣。JOHN’S – TechnipFMC 的深能船正在协助搜寻一艘在加拿大海岸探索泰坦尼克号残骸的探险中失踪的潜艇。

据多家网上报道,这家法美离岸服务集团表示,其铺管船已于 6 月 20 日抵达著名的沉船地点,以帮助支持泰坦号潜艇的搜救工作,该潜艇于周日失踪,船上有 5 人。

科德角考察船“极地王子”号在距科德角海岸约 900 英里、距纽芬兰 400 英里的地点下潜近两个小时后与潜艇船员失去了联系。

据潜艇所有者 OceanGate 称,泰坦号飞船拥有生命维持系统,可使其在水下停留长达 96 小时。该公司拥有一支由五人组成的潜水器船队,潜水深度可达 4,000 m。

TechnipFMC 在给 BBC 的一份声明中表示,它正在协助“美国海岸警卫队领导并得到加拿大海岸警卫队的支持”的努力。

TechnipFMC 于 2013 年建造,将Deep Energy船描述为有史以来最大、最快的铺管船之一。它专门通过卷筒敷设方法在水深达 3,000m 的地方安装柔性管道和脐带缆。

TechnipFMC 表示,其运输速度为 19.5 节,存储容量巨大,废弃和回收系统额定容量为 500 吨,设计用于在北海和其他地区运营。

除了“深能”号之外,还有另外九艘私人船只在现场或在途中协助搜寻。

BOSTON/ST. JOHN’S – TechnipFMC’s Deep Energy vessel is assisting in search efforts for a submarine which went missing on an expedition to explore the wreck of the Titanic off the Canadian coast.

According to several online reports, the French-American offshore services group said its pipelay vessel arrived at the famous wreck site on June 20 to help support search and rescue efforts for the Titan submarine, which disappeared on Sunday with five people on board.

The research vessel Polar Prince lost contact with the crew of the submarine nearly two hours into its dive, at a location around 900 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, and 400 miles from Newfoundland.

According to submarine owner OceanGate, the Titan craft has life support systems which would enable it to remain underwater for up to 96 hours. The company operates a fleet of five-person submersibles capable of reaching depths of up to 4,000 m.

In a statement to the BBC, TechnipFMC said it was assisting efforts “being led by the United States Coast Guard with support from the Canadian Coast Guard.”

Constructed in 2013, the TechnipFMC describes the Deep Energy vessel as one of the largest and fastest pipelay vessels ever built. It specializes in installing flexible pipe and umbilicals in water depths of up to 3,000m via a reel-lay method.

With a transit speed of 19.5 knots, significant storage capacity and an abandonment and recovery system rated to 500 tonnes, TechnipFMC says it is designed to operate in the North Sea and other regions.

Besides the Deep Energy, nine other privately-owned vessels are either on site or en route to assist the search.
