Nam Cheong books newbuild orders for four-advanced OSVs

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.
