Havyard to build two 832 SOVs for ESVAGT
Havyard has signed a contract for design and construction of two Havyard 832 SOVs (Service Operation Vessels) for ESVAGT, the Norwegian group said.
ESVAGT will operate the vessels and deliver services in connection with maintenance of offshore windmill installations. The vessels are due to be delivered from Havyard Ship Technology`s shipyard in Leirvik in Sogn, Norway in December 2014 and March 2015. The vessels will become newbuilds 118 and 119 from Havyard Ship Technology.
ESVAGT is a new customer for Havyard and it is also the first time Havyard will design vessels for service and maintenance of offshore windmills. The basis for this design, however, is taken from technology that Havyard has developed and delivered to the offshore oil industry through time.
General characteristics of Havyard 832 SOV:
Length: 83.7 m
Breadth: 17.6 m
