Havyard to Build One More PSV for Global Offshore

Havyard has signed a contract with Global Offshore Services for the construction of a Havyard 832 PSV. This vessel will become the 8th newbuild from Havyard in Norway delivered to the Indian shipping company.

The vessel will be delivered from Havyard Ship Technology`s shipyard in Leirvik in Sogn, Norway in August 2014 and will become newbuild 116. Havyard 832 is designed by Havyard Design & Solutions in Herøy in the county of Møre and Romsdal.

Havyard has delivered 6 vessels for the Indian shipping company, two of these are Havyard 832s. A further vessel is due to be delivered in August this year and the latest one will be delivered in August next year.

Global Offshore Services operates a fleet of platform supply vessels and anchor handlers in India, the North Sea and Brazil.

The first design of the platform supply vessel (PSV) Havyard 832 was developed in 2007 and nearly 30 vessels of this type have either been delivered or are currently being constructed. Havyard 832 PSV was developed to serve a specific need in terms of size and capacity, safety, fuel economy and being environmentally friendly. Havyard 832 has achieved great success, formed a new segment within PSV, and competing designers have developed designs stemming the same needs.

Since 2008 the Havyard 832 design has been continuously improved based on feedback from customers, research and development, and availability of new technology. This design has also been used as a foundation for the development of new types of vessels, such as the wind mill service ship Havyard 832 SOV, that ESVAGT recently contracted two vessels of.
