Olympic Shipping orders IMR ship from Kleven

The contract value is put at about NOK 400 million, and delivery is scheduled for March 2015. Kleven says that its orderbook is now 13 ships strong, at a total value of around NOK 8billion

The new MT 6021 design has been developed by Marin Teknikk in cooperation with the owner and the yard, with efficient and environmentally friendly operation in mind. The vessel is equipped with an offshore crane, ROV hangars, and with what the yard describes as ”significant accommodation capacity”.

Kleven CEO Ståle Rasmussen said: ”It is a great pleasure for us to be able to contribute to the expansion of the highly advanced Olympic fleet. Close cooperation with Olympic’s organisation during the building process ensures that the shipowners’ experience and knowledge is being transformed into new and better solutions.”
