Another LNG-fuelled PSV for Norway's Eidesvik

摘要

Norway's Eidesvik Offshore has exercised a NOK 440 million ($71.2 million) option to build a second LNG fueled PSV at Kleven Maritime. Scheduled for delivery from Kleven's Ulsteinvik shipyard in 2012, the vessel will be Eidesvik's fifth platform supply vessel powered by natural gas, confirming the company's position as the world's largest provider of LNG-powered PSVs. One of those is the Viking Energy, a VS 4403 design, also built by Kleven Maritime. Like its sister ship, which was ordered in July, the latest new-build will be specially equipped for operations in northern areas and is based on a VS 489 LNG design.
