The fabrication of two multifunction offshore supply vessels fabricated by ZPMC for East Sunrise (Group) Co., Ltd. was launched, on January 4th, with a total building cost of 497 million yuan (approx $79.9 mln).
With a power of 9,000kW, the vessels are anchor-handling supply tugs. With a wide range of functions and high value added, they can provide all-round services for ship operations in offshore oil exploration, development and production, including anchor-handling operations in various water depths.
Under the contract, the two vessels were scheduled to be delivered within 11 months and 14 months respectively. Now the project team is making arrangements for the simultaneous fabrication completion of the two vessels to deliver them as soon as possible, laying a solid foundation for follow-up orders.
