The PX121 designed PSVs are scheduled to be delivered from the Chinese yard in 2015, according to Jan-Piet Baars, managing director of Vroon Offshore Services.
Earlier in 2013, Vroon committed to two of the same PX121 design and equipment deals, with an option for a further two. The shipowner exercised the option on Tuesday.
“The PX121 is becoming increasingly attractive to oil companies as it offers a competitive combination of fuel-efficiency and cargo capacities/deadweight,” explained Sigurd Viseth, managing director of Ulstein Design & Solutions. “We expect to see more newbuilds of the same design type in the years to come.”
The PSVs are intended for operation in European waters.
