The value of the contract is about $154.6m. The ship will be delivered in 2010 and is the fourth vessel of the type ULSTEIN SX121 from Ulstein Design. The vessel will be yard number 287 at Ulstein Verft. Marine Subsea Inc. has previously contracted a sim- ilar vessel from Ulstein Verft for delivery in July 2009. "In a pressured market with many delays in both equipment and deliver- ies, it is important to have a good dialog with the shipyard. The Ulstein Group is highly reputable when it comes to building state-of-the-art vessels and developing design," said hristian Nygaard, managing director, Marine Subsea. The ship will have the characteristic ULSTEIN X-BOW. "The hull design also gives the ship more volume in the forepart and thus more space for accommodations than a conventional hull," said Nygaard. The vessel will be 120 x 25 m and accom- modate 100. It will be fitted with a tower for module handling, a moonpool, ROV hangar, offshore crane, helideck and a diesel-electric propulsion system. The ship will also be equipped with ULSTEIN COM, ULSTEIN IAS and the newly devel- oped ULSTEIN NAV from Ulstein.
