摘要

Damen Shipyards is further strengthening its involvement in the Brazilian offshore market with six platform supply vessels (PSVs), type PSV 4500, built under license by Wilson, Sons (Santos, Brazil) for Wilson Sons Ultratug Offshore (WSUT). Two vessels have been recently delivered; the remaining four will be delivered throughout 2013. Damen and Wilson have enjoyed a business relationship for 20 years, and the new vessels will be supplied to WSUT, a joint venture between Brazilian operator Wilson, Sons and the Chilean Ultratug group for long-term charter to Petrobras. To date Wilson, Sons has built 16 Damen PSVs - all for their own fleet.
