Norwegian shipbuilder Vard has signed a contract for the design and construction of two Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) for an undisclosed international customer.
The agreement, valued between $115 million and $230 million, also has an option for one additional vessel Vard said.
The two CSOVs are of VARD 4 19 design developed by Vard Design in Ålesund, Norway. The design is upgraded, and tailor made to the customer’s needs to give environmental benefits with a hull design optimized for low fuel consumption, as well as high operability and comfort.
The hull of the first vessel will be built at one of Vard’s yards in Romania while outfitting, commissioning, and delivery will be from one of VARD’s yards in Norway.
The second vessel will be built at Vard Vung Tau in Vietnam. The first vessel will be delivered mid-2027, the second in mid-2028.
The onboard battery hybrid propulsion system enables the vessels to run with zero emission for periods, as well as adding peak power and maintaining a highly energy efficient profile in all operations.
The design is also prepared for future operation on methanol, providing an additional sustainable option to its operations
