Britoil Offshore Services’ Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) Britoil Energy, has been launched today at PT. Britoil Offshore Indonesia, Britoil’s own shipyard on the island Batam.
Britoil entered into a contract with Ulstein for design and equipment packages for two PSVs of the new PX121 design in 2012. The first of two vessels, Britoil Power , was launched in January 2015. The second PSV, Britoil Energy was scheduled for a launch in February; however, the launch was postponed for March. The vessels were constructed at Britoil’s own yard.
Gunnar Haug , Ulstein Group representative in South East Asia, comments:
“The launching was smooth as silk, just like the previous one in January. The twin sisters “Britoil Power” and “Britoil Energy” now accompany each other – being outfitted alongside at the same yard.”
These two PX121 vessels will mark Britoil’s entry into the PSV market.
