On June 22 Simon Møkster signed a contract with Astilleros Gondan Shipyard in Spain for the building of the advanced Platform Supply Vessel of UT776 WP design.
This will be the second vessel for Astilleros Gondan shipyard to construct for Møkster. Gondan has previously delivered “Stril Merkur”, a multi field support vessel on schedule and to good quality.
