Agreement to build LNG-powered PSV


New Platform Supply Vessel to be built in Norway.

Kleven Maritime has signed a contract with Remøy Shipping on the delivery of an LNG-powered platform supply vessel (PSV), which is to be built at Kleven Maritime's shipyard Kleven Verft.

The total contract value for Kleven Maritime is around 400 million NOK. In addition, the deal also includes an option for a further vessel of the same type.

Statoil recently awarded contracts for seven PSV newbuilds to be used on the Norwegian continental shelf. Three of the vessels are to be built by Kleven Maritime.

Earlier this month, Atlantic Offshore announced that it had chosen Kleven Maritime's Myklebust Verft shipyard to build two vessels for which they have signed a six year contract with Statoil.

"We highly appreciate that Remøy Shipping has chosen Kleven Verft for their latest project," said Ståle Rasmussen, CEO of Kleven Maritime. "Statoil has specified the most advanced environmentally friendly technology for these vessels, and we very much look forward to working together with Remøy Shipping on the realisation of these fuel effective vessels."

"Competition has been really hard this time, and we chose Kleven Maritime because of their long experience and competence when it comes to building LNG-powered vessels. That, combined with the good quality they deliver and competitive terms, was decisive," said Per Gunnar Jarnes, Managing Director of Remøy Shipping.

The vessel is a VS 4412 DF PSV type from Wärtsila Ship Design Norway.

Kleven Maritime now has 14 vessels in its order book at a total value of 6.7 billion NOK.
