The 83.4m vessel was built at Cosco Guangdong Shipyard in China and is destined to work in European waters. The remaining vessels will be delivered during 2015 and 2016. <\/p>\n
The ships boast a cargo deck of 850m2 and employ the X-bow hull line design, which ensures better seakeeping in harsher conditions. Ulstein noted that the patented design offers operational and fuel-efficiency advantages to the charterer, along with high crew safety and comfort standards.<\/p>\n
The hull and propulsion system are well suited for the North Sea and the North Atlantic, while tank capacities and a flexible and segregated arrangement make the vessels highly versatile. The ships meet the requirements of Clean Design, feature treatment systems for ballast water and are prepared for ABS fire-fighting class FFV1. Beyond the usual tanks for oil, water and drilling fluids, the vessels have four stainless steel tanks for flammable liquids such as methanol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
