Originally delivered as a platform supply vessel, the Island Patriot of the ULSTEIN P105 design has later been converted to a well stimulation vessel. It was built at Ulstein Verft in 2005 for Island Offshore. It was later sold to Stimwell in Esbjerg, Denmark, but is still operated by Island Offshore Management.
Frequent replacements of light sources and increasing difficulties in obtaining spare parts was one of the reasons for the replacement. The conventional light sources have short life times. The new LED solution, however, has a life expectancy of 100.000 hours with little or no maintenance. The replacement was a simple operation, since the new luminaires would fit into the brackets used by the old ones.
The new solution comes with a 5 year warranty. The crew is excited about the quality of the new light.
