All four OSVs will be
fully constructed in-house at Nam Cheong’s Miri Yard in Sarawak, Malaysia.
“We are thrilled to
have an established UAE based global energy maritime logistics company, as our
new customer, for constructing four highly sophisticated OSVs,” said Nam
Cheong CEO Leong Seng Keat. “This marks the beginning of
the resurgence in demand for our shipbuilding activities. We are deeply
grateful for the customer’s trust and confidence in us and equally proud that
our own efforts and continuous upskilling have brought us to this milestone. I
am confident that our decades of proven track record in shipbuilding,
strengthened technical know-how, and commitment to meeting customers’
requirements will enable us to ride on this positive newbuild momentum and
deliver long – term value to our shareholders.”
The dive support vessel is a highly sophisticated
offshore asset specifically designed to carry out a wide range of complex
subsea operations under harsh open – water conditions, including tasks such as
diving support, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) support, underwater inspections
and maintenance.
The landing craft is a
cutting-edge vessel based on the remote-control system developed by SeaOwl Group, and
will be totally unmanned and remotely operated via satellite connection
from shore station. The vessel, equipped with built-in auto docking capability,
will be used for logistical operations that require rapid deployability,
versatility and crewless functionality.
