Four Japanese PSVs for Swire Pacific

The ships will be classed with DP2 capability and have diesel electric propulsion systems. The vessels will be delivered progressively from early 2014. The order follows on from another order earlier in 2011 for four sister vessels from the EISA shipyard in Brazil.

Neil Glenn, managing director of Swire Pacific Offshore, said: “We are excited to announce the orders for our H Class series of large PSVs. We see large PSVs as an important market segment moving forward which will meet with the requirements of our key customers.”
