Platform supply vessel Far Skimmer was delivered today, September 17th, from STX OSV Vung Tau in Vietnam to Farstad Shipping Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, a wholly owned subsidiary of Farstad Shipping ASA.
In November 2010 a contract was signed with STX Europe for the building of a platform supply vessel for delivery in September 2012. The vessel is of PSV 08 CD design, developed in close co-operation between STX Europe and Farstad Shipping.
Upon arrival in Australia, the vessel will commence its long term commitment to Shell Australia related to their Prelude drilling campaign.
A long-term facility has been drawn with Nordea Bank to finance the vessel.
