Rolls-Royce Helicon Propulsion System & Icon DP Systems – Independent Upgrade & Replacement Support
A large part of the global offshore fleet is still operating Rolls-Royce Helicon propulsion system and legacy Icon DP systems installed in the early 2000s. Today, these systems face obsolescence, limited spare parts availability and increasing operational risk.
Helicon PS & Icon DP Systems – The Replacement Is No Longer Optional
- Rolls-Royce Helicon propulsion system and legacy Icon DP system are reaching the end of their operational lifecycle.
- Obsolescence of controllers, limited spare parts and fragmented OEM support increase the risk of downtime and class findings.
- For many operators, replacement is unavoidable.
Post-Rolls-Royce Reality
- Following the acquisition of Rolls-Royce systems by new owners legacy RR systems have become a secondary priority in OEM portfolios
- As a result, owners are often presented with high-cost, OEM-led replacement projects, with limited flexibility and system choice.
Installation path
Typical scope includes:
- Full replacement of Helicon propulsion system and legacy ICON DP system
- Integration with thrusters, power plant and automation
