ITG Group has ordered two platform supply vessels (PSV) of the PX121 design from ULSTEIN.
The ROC yard, China, will be constructing the two PSVs for ITG. The contract includes an option for two more vessels.
ROC is a new yard starting construction of vessels carrying the X-BOW hull line design from ULSTEIN.
Ulstein Design & Solutions provides a comprehensive design & equipment package that includes basic and detail design, all major equipment, site support/construction consultancy and commissioning.
“We are happy to see the materialisation of this project and that the yard and the owner, who, after careful evaluation of different designs and design companies, in the end selected ULSTEIN as their partner when entering into the offshore market,” says deputy CEO Tore Ulstein in Ulstein Group.
The ships are 83.4m long with an 18m beam, and meet DNV’s Clean Design notation. They have a load capacity of approximately 4000-tonne and a cargo deck of 840sq m. Maximum speed is 14.5 knots.
This version of the medium-sized PX121 PSV accommodates 30 people. The vessels will be prepared for an ROV mezzanine deck and a subsea crane for future installation.
They will be built in accordance to IMO’s SPS Code (Special Purpose Ships) for carrying specialised personnel, and will have OILREC class notation for oil recovery in emergency situations.
The vessels are planned for the European market and are suitable for worldwide operation.
They are planned for delivery in the first half of 2015.
