Dubai: Drydocks World said it has won a $100.4 million contract to build four Platform Supply Vessels (PSV), with option for four more units, for Tidewater Marine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tidewater, the world’s largest provider of marine support services for the offshore energy industry.

The vessels will be built at DDW-Nanindah shipyard at Batam in Indonesia and the first unit is targetted for delivery in 18 months, followed by the rest every two months.

Each PSV will be constructed to Rolls Royce Marine’s design, and powered by Diesel Electric Propulsion. It will be 81.55 metres long, weigh 3,200 tons and will be equipped with a cargo deck measuring 670 square metres.

Khamis Juma Buamim, Chairman, Drydocks World & Maritime World, said: “We are confident and despite the global downturn we are modifying and managing change with clear vision, we do believe that our new horizon will ensure and enhance the sustainability cycle of our business. This contract is recognition of Drydocks World’s capabilities as a resilient ship builder and the international maritime industry’s vote of confidence in our expertise.”

Under the terms of the contract, Tidewater Marine has the option to place orders for four more PSV units to be built by DDW-Nanindah on the successful completion of the first four vessels.

Some of the recent vessel deliveries that have highlighted the heavyweight construction and engineering capability of Drydocks World yards include Windermere, a subsea operation vessel and OSA Sampson and OSA Goliath, two of the world’s largest offshore construction vessels for Coastline Maritime. CSS Derwent, a compact semi-submersible subsea operation vessel for Hallin Marine is under construction.

Nanindah is one of the busiest ship-building yards in Asia and is widely recognised for its capabilities as an integrated maritime solutions provider in the Southeast Asia region
DDW also has three other ship yards, DDW-Singapore, DDW-Graha and DDW-Pertama in SEA, in addition to the Dubai Shipyard. The facility in Singapore is a repair and new building yard, the shipyard at Graha is a dedicated rig building unit and the one at Pertama is a mixed-use yard.
