Greatship orders two PSVs from Sri Lankan yard
Sri Lankan shipbuilder Colombo Dockyard has secure contracts for two 78m multipurpose platform supply vessels (MPSVs) for Greatship Global Offshore Services of Singapore.
The vessels are scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of the 2012 financial year and the first quarter of 2013. The yard, a unit of Japan's Onomichi Dockyard Company, did not disclose the price of the 3,600 dwt vessels.
Greatship Global Offshore Services is a Singapore incorporated subsidiary of Greatship (India), which is a subsidiary of The Great Eastern Shipping Company. Colombo Dockyard has already built two MPSVs to similar design and worked in collaborative consultation with the owners and Designer Seatech Solutions International of Singapore on the new vessels.
The new MPSVs have been designed to perform oil recovery functions as well as operating as light construction support vessels. Colombo Dockyard also said the new vessels would be among the “greenest, eco-friendly vessels” ever to be built in the yard and will be fully equipped with a ballast water management plan, be capable of treating water before discharge to the sea and have ‘eco-friendly’ refrigerant.
