Norwegian builder Havyard says that its latest delivery, Saeborg, a Havyard 832L supply vessel built for Faroese owner Tummas Justinussen, is about to be named and handed over in the Faroes.
The 832L is a development of the Havyard 832 design, the first example of which was ordered by Justinussen’s company Supply Service. The 832L is an enlarged version of the 832, with a 900m2 deck area, compared to the 832’s 800m2. Supply Service has ordered another Havyard ship, a PSV of the Havyard 833 design, scheduled to be launched In April 2012.
Havyard says that Saeborg is 86m long, with a breadth of 17.6m, has a 14 knot speed and carries a crew of 23. It is equipped for rescue and standby operations totalling 200 people, and is the first ship for which Havyard Power & Systems has delivered a complete communications and navigation package.
Supply Service is part of the Sjöborg PF group, which has recently decided to diversify from fishing into other business areas. Despite the fact that there is not yet any oil exploration around the Faroe Islands, the group focuses heavily on the offshore industry in international markets.
