Norwegian-registered Hercules Supply has positioned an order for a brand new multipurpose offshore assist vessel (MPSV) from Chinese shipyard Fujian Mawei.
Slated for supply on within the fourth quarter of 2025, the newbuild—a Z 4423 MPSV design from Norwegian naval structure agency Breeze Ship Design—will likely be 88 meters lengthy and fitted with battery hybrid propulsion, moonpoool and lodging for 60 folks.
“With a focus on functionality and efficiency, this design provides flexibility to perform tasks within different offshore segments, such as conventional platform supply service, light construction work, geoseismic and offshore wind,” the designer stated.
Hercules Supply has choices for 2 additional ships, which might be delivered in roughly three-month intervals following the primary ship.
Fletcher, based mostly within the U.K., will function the primary vessel, each commercially and technically.
