Cosco to build Ulstein PSV design

Ulstein of Norway has entered into a contract for the delivery of a design and power package for two platform supply vessels of the PX121 design for Dutch shipowner Vroon.

Two Ulstein PSVs for Vroon will be built by Cosco in China

The ships will be constructed at China’s Cosco Guangdong shipyard, and are scheduled for delivery in early 2015. The order includes an option for two more. They will be the ninth and tenth to the PX121 design; among other orders for this type of PSV are six for Blue Ship Invest, the third of which has just been delivered, and two for Britoil.

“The shipowner and yard are new customers to Ulstein. We are very grateful for the new order and look forward to the cooperation”, said Sigurd Viseth, MD of Ulstein Design & Solutions.
