Havyard Leirvik delivers the first Havyard-design

Havyard Leirvik has delivered NB 092 'Havila Saturn', a Havyard 842 Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel (AHTS) to owner Havila Saturn.

The first vessel of Havyard-design has now been delivered and is ready for starting operating for her owners. 'Havila Saturn' is a Havyard 842 AHTS, which is designed for operation both in the Norwegian North Sea and worldwide. Main criteria for the design process was to develop a vessel which can execute 90 percent of the AHTS work in the North Sea and being cost efficient during operations and building world wide at the same time. Since NB 092 was ordered at Havyard Leirvik AS, in November 2005, further 12 vessels of Havyard 842 design have been ordered. Four at Havyard Leirvik, four in India and four in China for owners from Norway, India and Singapore. The Havyard-design has been a big success since the launching in 2005. It is fantastic to see the first vessel of own design sailing, ready to serve her new owners. The building period and testing of the vessel before delivery has given positive answers. The shipyard has long experience in building of large, advanced offshore support vessels and is one of the Norwegian shipyards building most AHTS.
