Rolls-Royce Offshore president John Knudsen said: “We are delighted to be able to announce a range of contracts with our offshore customers, demonstrating not only the continuing popularity of our own UT vessel design, now in its 40th year, but also our ability to work closely with other designers in providing sophisticated systems ideally suited to their own designs.”
Of the five Rolls-Royce UT design vessels, two UT717 CDX platform supply vessels (PSV) will be delivered to Norwegian customer Island Offshore and two larger UT755 PSVs for Aberdeen-based Fletcher Shipping.
