Norwegian shipbuilder Simek has announced that the main hull assembly for yard No. 127, a 85.45 m long Subsea vessel of MM 85 MSV design, has been completed in Poland.
All units have been assembled and the hull is now ready for sandblasting and painting, after which the vessel will be towed to Simek for finishing touches.
The vessel was designed by Multi Maritime AS in Førde and is a development of two existing vessels the company has taken delivery of from another Norwegian shipyard.
The newbuilding will have a diesel-electric propulsion system of 4 generators with approx. 6.490 kW. These supply power to two electric-powered propellers each of 1,600 kW aft. Estimated speed approx. 14,5 knots. In addition, the ship is equipped with one bow thruster and two azimuth thrusters.
Yard no. 127 will be delivered to Simon Møkster Shipping in May 2014.
