Remøy orders gas-fuelled PSV from Kleven

The vessel is of the VS 4412 DF PSV type from Wärtsilä Ship Design, and the contract value is worth around 400 million NOK. The new order follows closely behind an order for two PSVs for Atlantic Offshore, which will be built at Kleven’s Myklebust Verft. All three new ships are destined for a new Statoil contract on the Norwegian continental shelf, which requires seven PSV newbuilds in total.

“We highly appreciate that Remøy Shipping has chosen Kleven Verft for their latest project,” said Ståle Rasmussen, CEO of Kleven Maritime. “Statoil has specified the most advanced environmentally friendly technology for these vessels, and we very much look forward to working together with Remøy Shipping on the realisation of these fuel effective vessels.”

“Competition has been really hard this time, and we chose Kleven Maritime because of their long experience and competence when it comes to building LNG powered vessels. That, combined with the good quality they deliver and competitive terms, was decisive,” said Per Gunnar Jarnes, managing director of Remøy Shipping.

Kleven Maritime says it now has 14 vessels in the order book, at a total value of 6.7 billion NOK.
