The new vessel will be delivered to the owner in March 2015.

The IMR vessel, based on the MT 6021 design, will be equipped with an offshore crane, remotely-operated vehicle hangars, and significant accommodation capacity, according to Kleven.

“Close cooperation with Olympic's organisation during the building process ensures that the shipowners' experience and knowledge is being transformed into new and better solutions,” said Ståle Rasmussen, ceo of Kleven.

Kleven now has 13 vessels in its orderbook at a total value of around NOK8bn.
