Construction of largest OCV at Ulstein Verft passes important milestone
Ulstein Verft's largest newbuild so far, Yno 302, has reached an important milestone. Early Tuesday morning on 28 April, the tow of the aft ship arrived the yard premises. Next in line was to move the 6,500 t section into the dock and connect it to the foreship which is positioned inside the dock hall. Watch the timelapse here, the shipyard press release said.
The Yno 302 completion is scheduled for Q4. The vessel has been redesigned in the engineering phase, and thus, the final vessel has increased both in length and beam. The vessel will be 159.8 metres long with a beam of 30 metres. The deadweight will be approximately 14 000 tonnes, resulting in increased deck area and tank capacity.
The state-of-the-art-ship is jointly owned by Norway-based shipowner Island Offshore and US-based shipowner Edison Chouest Offshore.
