The subsea construction vessel Edda Freya was launched this weekend from Kleven Verft.

Kleven is building the 150-meter vessel for Østensjø Rederi, scheduled for delivery in February 2016.

As previously mentioned, the 304 OCV is of Salt Ship Design and will be powered by the Siemens BlueDrive+C diesel electric hybrid propulsion system.

In addition, Edda Freya will be equipped with a 150 tons dual tensioner vertical lay system (VLS) located in the moon pool, a 3000 tons carousel below deck and a 400 tons active heave compensated (AHC) knuckle boom main crane that can lift 600 tons in double fall mode.
