ASL Marine has launched and christened a multi-million dollar new build ROV support vessel Harkand Harmony at Keppel Marina in Singapore.
Around 100 invited guests attended the christening ceremony where Sophie Mottais-Trouve, the wife of Harkand’s Vice President of Commercial and Strategy Olivier Trouve, officially named the vessel.
The 65m long vessel will be fitted with one Comanche workclass ROV for ROV support and air diving activities in the region, as well as a full survey kit and team for survey operations. Capable of accommodating 60 crew, it boasts a 580m² main deck, a Kongsberg DP2 dynamic positioning system, 20t electro-hyrdaulic knuckle boom crane and 4.5m moon pool.
The Harmony’s addition to the Harkand fleet, along with two new Triton XLX ROV’s which will be delivered in August, marks an important step forward in the company’s Asia Pacific development plan.
