Faroe orders another Havyard vessel

The Herøy-based company has signed the contract with Supply Service, part of the Sjöborg PF-group, for delivery of the Havyard 832 L to shipowner Tummas Justinussen in the Faroe Islands.

This will be the fourth ship of a Havyard design heading to the Faroe Islands and it’s the third Supply Service vessel being built at Havyard’s shipyard in Leirvik, Norway.

The shipowner was also the first to order a vessel of Havyard 832 design, leading to a series of deliveries of ships based on this popular design. The 86m long and 17.6m wide PSV newbuilding will be the 14th of this particular Havyard design and is scheduled for completion in July 2012.

The 4,300 dwt hull is already under construction at Cemre Shipyard in Turkey and outfitting will be done at Havyard Ship Technology shipyard in Leirvik.

This new contract, valued at NOK 300 million ($52 million), also involves major deliveries from the group’s other business areas including Havyard Design & Engineering and Havyard Power & Systems. Norwegian Electric Systems, where Havyard Group is co-owner, will deliver a complete diesel-electric propulsion system including four 1,550kW gensets.
