Cummins Vessel Reference #710

The Orion Laxmi

Goa, India’s Mandovi Drydocks has made significant contributions to the domestic boat building industry. A good example of this is the 43 by 10-meter off shore supply vessel M.V. Orion Laxmi owned by Orion Off Shore Services Pvt. Ltd.

Delivered to her owners at the end of 2011 the vessel has a clear deck space of 183 square meters and a total deck area of 220 sq.m. Main engines are a pair of Cummins KTA 38-M2 each producing 1200 HP at 1800 RPM. This provides a 20-ton bollard pull for towing with a towing hook. The vessel is fitted with an ‘A’ frame and a three-ton capstan. Tankage includes 84 tons of fresh water and 386 tons of diesel oil.
