Indian-built Havyard AHTS delivered
‘SCI-Panna’ is the first Havyard design to be built in India
The first offshore vessel to a Havyard design to be constructed in India has been handed over to owner Shipping Corporation of India (SCI). Three more to the same design are currently under construction.
The four ships, to the 841 design by Havyard of Norway, are being built for SCI by Indian shipyard Bharati. The remaining ships are scheduled for delivery by March 2012.
The first of the four, SCI-Panna, is the first vessel to a Havyard design that this yard has constructed and it is also the first Havyard-designed supply vessel that SCI has purchased. Herøy-based Havyard designed the 841 as far back as 2007, with the Indian market in mind. SCI-Panna has a bollard pull of 80 tonnes, is 64.8m in length and has deck capacity of 400m2. There is accommodation for a crew of 31.
