On July 10, following the successful erection of the ‘809’ Block, the main section of the first platform supply vessel (PSV), being built in COSCO (Guangdong) Shipyard, had taken shape, making way for intense preparations for launching.
The vessel is the first of the four platform supply vessels ordered by the American owner Tide Water from COSCO (Guangdong) Shipyard. The vessel measures 83.75 metres in length, 18 metres in length and 7 metres in height.
In the process of block erection, despite the wet weather and summer heat, the project team worked overtime and succeeded in ensuring close collaboration between relevant workshops and departments and took a variety of effective measures to strengthen surface control of the blocks to ultimately reach their block erection target.
