The P128 design of Norway-based Ulstein features low fuel oil consumption and high carrying capacity, lending support to barges and rigs in a more economical way than the traditional offshore support vessels, according to Ulstein.
The 3,000-dwt, DP2-capable vessels are planned for delivery in 2014.
Each vessel's 610 square metres work deck can accommodate four lengths of 12-metre long casing pipes and is enclosed by plate covered crash barriers offering increased safety for crew and cargo.
