Havyard signs PSV contract

The first vessel is to be delivered March 2012 and the optional vessel June 2012. The vessels are to be built at the Havyard Group’s shipyard Havyard Leirvik AS in Norway and will cost approximately NKr350 million ($54 million) per vessel.

The owner, Supply Service has its roots in fishery and entered the offshore market by ordering the first Havyard 832 PSV design, Eldborg, which was delivered in 2009. In a short period Supply Service has, with this vessel, proven their qualities in the market and received good feedback from oil companies and charterers utilizing their services. Today there are six vessels of this design delivered and operating and there is a further three units under construction at different shipyards in Norway. Supply Service is now utilizing their experience with the Havyard 832 design as valuable input to Havyard Design in the process of developing the Havyard 833.

The focus while designing the new 86m Havyard 833 was operating economy, large and flexible capacity to carry many types of cargo, high comfort for the crew and to minimize pollution of sea and air (Clean Design, optimized hull lines, diesel-electric propulsion, catalysts, etc.). The new 4,700 dwt design is well equipped for offering services to many of the operations required by the offshore oil industry. In addition to good cargo capacity, the vessel will be equipped for oil recovery (NOFO 2009), stand-by / rescue services and fire fighting.

Havyard Design will deliver basic design and calculations and Havyard Steelcad will deliver detail engineering and workshop drawings. Havyard Elektro will deliver electrical installations and electric systems while Havyard Powertec will deliver electrical engineering and Havyard IAS integrated automation system.

Havyard Ship Services will follow up building of the steel hull in Turkey and service the vessel in the warranty period using Havyard Life Cycle Portal.
