Sølvtrans today announced that the delivery of its new wellboat Ronja Polaris, which is under construction at Zamakona Yards, has been delayed. According to the announcement, the vessel is expected to be delivered from the shipyard in late August, one month later than previously communicated.
Under the contract, Sølvtrans will receive compensation from the yard.
The vessel, which is of Rolls-Royce NVC 386 design, features an advanced diesel-electric propulsion system including two Rolls-Royce Bergen C6 diesel engines and a hybrid shaft generator, which significantly reduces energy consumption on board.
Considerable emphasis has also been placed on living quarters and working environment for the crew in order to enhance crew comfort during long periods at sea.
