The Netherlands-based Offshore Ship Designers, or OSD, said Tuesday it has sealed a deal with two offshore operators to provide the ship design for 10 large diesel-electric Platform Supply Vessels to be build at three shipyards in Brazil, Japan and Spain.
OSD said that the designs will be provided to Swire Pacific Offshore Operations (Pte) Limited, who has ordered four IMT-997 Platform Supply Vessels to be built by Universal Shipbuilding Corporation in Japan and four sister vessels to be built at the EISA shipyard in Brazil. The 97m LOA 5,000 dwt vessels will be classed with DP2 capability and have diesel-electric propulsion systems with azimuth propulsion units. The vessels will be delivered progressively from early 2014.
