Norway: Simek Nears Launch of Newbuilding 125

Construction works on the Newbuilding 125, a Platform Supply Vessel of UT 755 LC design, which is being build for Atlantic Offshore, are proceeding well at Simek Shipyard.

So far, the superstructure (block 5) has been painted, block 1 has also been painted and placed at the correct position on the slipway. Block 2 is undergoing sandblasting and painting. Work on the wheelhouse has shown great progress.

Block 5, the superstructure will be assembled after sea-launching in February 2013 by a floating crane.

The UT 755 LC is a development of the popular UT 755 series vessel, designed specifically for supplying equipment to oil and gas platforms. The vessel will have an extended hull and larger deck space to increase the capacity for transportation of solid and liquid cargo.
