KELLY MORRISON - Dive Support Vessel

Providing a new dimension to CMC's Gulf of Mexico capabilities is the DSV Kelly Morrison, a 185' 4-point dive support vessel. This dual-purpose work vessel offers greater resources in deeper water depths and accommodates 35 persons inclusive of the vessel crew allowing for 24-hour diving capability.

The dive support equipment including the jet pump, dive compressors and welding machine is built below deck to give ample space for material storage and the fabrication of pipeline components. The DSV's performance level is further enhanced by the marine rated 40-ton hydraulic crane used in setting risers, riser clamps, boat landings and flange-in spool pieces.
