Shipyard De Hoop secures Trinidad PSV contract

摘要

Shipyard De Hoop is to build its newly designed platform supply vessel (PSV) for Trinidad's Delta Logistics. The 70m by 15.8m vessel is a further development of De Hoop's KISS design, which was recently built and delivered for Pemex in Mexico. De Hoop has evolved the PSV design, widening the vessel to allow for a deadweight of over 2,500 tonnes. The hull form is optimised for fuel efficient operations, during both transit and dynamic positioning modes. Delta's new vessel will also be fitted with a specially developed bulbous bow, designed to maintain a service speed of 12 knots, whilst saving almost 17% of power during transit.
