Acta Marine has ordered a second SX195 design DP2 walk-to-work CSV from the Norway-headquartered shipyard. The SX195 type designed, 93.4m long and 18m wide vessel is optimised for offshore wind and can accommodate 120 people. The first CSV for Acta Marine, the Acta Auriga will undergo sea trials shortly.
“Returning to Ulstein Verft with an order for a new sister vessel is a strong signal of the importance of the yard’s track record in quality and delivery precision, which is very important to us as ship owner and to our clients,”
“We are quite convinced that the Acta SX195 vessels will create higher efficiency in offshore logistics operations and thus reduce the overall cost of constructing windfarms and, also, contribute towards a higher uptime of the installed base of offshore wind,” said Rob Boer, managing director at Acta Marine.
The vessel is scheduled for delivery in second quarter 2019.
“Acta Marine is firmly positioned in the renewable, and offshore oil & gas, markets. They challenged us in designing a highly flexible and compact vessel, with high capacities for long-term operations in the field, and this vessel is soon to be completed,” stated Gunvor Ulstein, ceo Ulstein Group.
The first newbuild Acta Auriga has been a awarded a two year contract for O&M operations at BARD Offshore 1, Germany.
