With the latest order Farstad will have eight PSVs and four anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS) on order with a total cost of NOK5.1bn ($858m).
Currently, STX OSV has six PSVs and four AHTS under construction for Farstad, which operates a fleet of 53 vessels including 29 AHTS, 21 PSVs and three subsea vessels.
In March 2012 , the company won a NOK1.2bn ($208m) contract from Farstad’s subsidiary Farstad Supply to build a pair of AHTS.
Each of the vessels will have a length of 87.4m and breadth of 21m, and will be designed by Rolls Royce Marine under a £50m contract.
Based on Rolls Royce’s UT 731 CD design, the vessels will be equipped to handle anchors for oil rigs, tow rigs to location and also serve as supply vessels. They will also be equipped with an integrated equipment system, including deck machinery and vessel control systems.
