Second Atlantic order for Havyard

The previous order from Atlantic was for use on a charter from Total, and the second order is to satisfy a long-term agreement with Shell UK.

The 66.8m A-class ship will be used in the North Sea, east of Aberdeen. It will be certified for rescue of more than 300 personnel. It will be capable of 14 knots, and of towing with up to 65,000kg bollard pull. It will also contain loading and storage capacity to support nearby Shell rigs. Where the ship will be built has yet to be decided, but a decision is expected soon.

“It’s great that our clients are awarded agreements offering Havyard designs. The design of this particular FSV-ship (Field Support Vessel) has been developed in close collaboration by Atlantic Offshore and Havyard Design & Engineering. Havyard will deliver a complete design package as well as an extensive equipment package consisting of our own and external suppliers’ equipment. Amongst the external suppliers you will find a lot of Norwegian ones,” says Gisle Vinjevoll Thrane, sales manager at Havyard Global Solutions.
