Last year, COSL took delivery of four AHTS and two platform supply vessels (PSV), which were designed by Wärtsilä.

Wärtsilä won the deal to design the six ships in December 2012 and secured another deal for three new AHTS vessels in December 2014.

Last month, the company announced that it would provide a special external lighting system for a new cruise ship currently under construction at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

Named Genting Dream, the 150,000 gross register tonnage (GRT) vessel will be owned by Dream Cruises, a part of global leisure company Genting Hong Kong.
