Havyard delivers Global Offshore PSV

The vessel, named Beaucephalus, is the 8th unit of the Havyard 832 design so far delivered with a further three ships under construction. The newbuilding is designed by Havyard Design AS in Fosnavåg, Norway and is described as a large medium size PSV meeting future market demands offering larger capacities compared to existing designs of similar size. It also has energy-optimised diesel electric propulsion giving a service speed of 14.5 knots and satisfies the environmental demands of ‘Clean Design’.

The 84m long, 17.60m wide 832 L SE is based on the Havyard 832 CD design and has been further developed in accordance with customer demands. Compared to a standard Havyard 832 CD this new design is extended and has a larger interior. As a result, it has a bigger deadweight tonnage (4,500 tonnes), a cargo deck area of 812m2, accommodation for up to 54 people and is more flexible in regards to the type of jobs the ship can carry out. In addition to usual platform supply jobs this vessel is designed to perform smaller types of construction work and general maintenance and repair work on subsea oil installations. The ship is also prepared for installation of offshore cranes, a moonpool and ROV handling.

This latest delivery is the 5th vessel Havyard Leirvik has built for Garware Offshore Services in the last four years.
