Havyard PSV to be delivered

This Saturday, the fourth Havyard 832 CD PSV designed by Havyard Design AS will be ready for her naming ceremony in Bergen, Norway. The vessel is Havyard Leirvik AS? Yard No. 104 and will be named Havila Her?y. The owner is Havila Shipping Pte. Ltd.

The 4,000 DWT newbuilding is entering directly into a five year charter with Maersk Olie og Gas Danmark with 1 + 1 + 1 years options. In these challenging times, with very many vessels competing in a depressed spot market it is very positive for the owner to have secured long-term employment for this newbuild. This contract is a breakthrough as it is the first time Maersk Olie og Gas Danmark has signed a vessel fixed for more than one year.

After the naming ceremony the 80.40 metre Havila Her?y will sail directly to Esbjerg which will be her base for the supply services she will be providing to offshore oil installations in the Danish sector of the North Sea for the next five years.

This is the fifth advanced offshore support vessels delivered from Havyard Leirvik this year. The shipyard has another four vessels under construction including the largest Diving Support Vessel in the world, and the last vessel will be delivered early 2011.

Havila Her?y is designed by Havyard Design AS in Fosnavåg, Norway. Havyard 832 CD is a medium to large size Platform Supply Vessel which fulfils the new requirements from the market. The design has more cargo capacity than existing designs, energy optimized diesel electric propulsion system and fulfils DnV Clean Design. The design of Havila Her?y is customised to the requirements of the charterer.

This is the fourth Havyard 832 CD delivered and there is another five vessels under construction at different Norwegian shipyards.
