French shipbuilder Piriou has delivered another fast personnel and supply vessel (FPSV) to Jana Marine, a Saudi Arabian provider of marine services to the offshore o&g industry.
The FPSV named Jana 18 was delivered six months after the delivery of its sister vessel, the Jana 17 which was delivered to Jana Marine back in late May .
Piriou said on Tuesday that the Jana 18 was built in Vietnam and would operate in the Arabian Gulf, like the Jana 17.
Vincent Faujour , CEO of Piriou, said: “Six months after the delivery of Jana 17, this new order confirms mutual trust between Jana Marine Services and Piriou. Jana Marine Services thus becomes a reference customer which enables us to consider new collaborations in the future.”
Jana 18, a 41P model FPSV, is a versatile vessel designed for rig crew transfer and quick transportation of supplies. The 42-meter long vessel is equipped with three engines coupled to fixed pitch propellers, 50 tonnes of deck load capacity, and can transfer up to 80 people at a speed of 25 knots. The vessel also has a fuel oil capacity of 80m3 for a 21-day endurance capability.
