Simek Prepares to Launch New MPSV

Simek AS is speeding up the construction of a Multi-Purpose Support Vessel (MPSV), the Yard No. 127, as it nears the launch date, set for late February.

The ship of Multi Maritime’s AS MM 85 MSV design, is an 85.45 m long subsea vessel that will be delivered to Simon Møkster Shipping AS in May 2014. She comes as a development of the popular Stril Explorer, which was delivered to the company back in 2010.

The design of this state-of-the-art MPSV allows for introduction of a very flexible subsea equipment outfit. Designed to accommodate a total of 90 people, the vessel will feature a diesel-electric propulsion system of 4 generators with approx. 6.490 kW that will supply power to two electric-powered propellers, each of 1,600 kW aft.
