We have in total been awarded more than thirty new building contracts with Island Offshore, and we look forward to continuing the good cooperation.” The hulls will be built at Braila in Romania, and outfitted in Brevik, Norway.
The vessels are of Rolls-Royce UT 776 CDG design, based on the series of six vessels for Island Offshore.
Four of these vessels are already delivered.
