Indian-built Havyard AHTS delivered

The four ships, to the 841 design by Havyard of Norway, are being built for SCI by Indian shipyard Bharati. The remaining ships are scheduled for delivery by March 2012.

The first of the four, SCI-Panna, is the first vessel to a Havyard design that this yard has constructed and it is also the first Havyard-designed supply vessel that SCI has purchased. Herøy-based Havyard designed the 841 as far back as 2007, with the Indian market in mind. SCI-Panna has a bollard pull of 80 tonnes, is 64.8m in length and has deck capacity of 400m². There is accommodation for a crew of 31.
