Remøy Shipping has signed a contract with Ulstein Verft for the building of two eco-friendly platform supply vessels (PSV) of ULSTEIN PX105 type designed by Ulstein Design with future-oriented products and systems from Ulstein Elektro.
The vessels are already set for long-term contracts with StatoilHydro upon completion. The vessels will be delivered in February and May 2011. StatoilHydro announced earlier this year that Remøy Shipping had been awarded an eight-year contract with an option for four times one additional year for two PSVs with Ulstein Design equipment and design packages. Shipyard negotiations had not been concluded by the time Remøy and StatoilHydro agreed upon the deal, but Remøy Shipping is placing its trust in local players to have the ships ready for StatoilHydro by the contracted start date. A large number of the details in the newly developed ULSTEIN PX105 design are according to requirement specifications from StatoilHydro. The vessels are equipped with Mecmar's exhaust system, which releases exhaust through the hull side, right over the water surface. The ships are also equipped with the newly developed CargoMaxx tank system that can load cuttings, dry bulk, mud, brine and fuel. The system is also prepared for oil protection and oil recovery operation. The ULSTEIN PX105 design is 88.8 metres long and 19 metres wide, with a total output of 7600eKW. The vessels will be equipped after the Ulstein Accommodation Standard and will have technology from Ulstein Elektro. Remøy Shipping currently has a fleet of six vessels for coast guard, seismic and offshore service.
