Completed deliveries of twelve Ulstein-designed PSVs

The Zhejiang yard, a part of the Sinopacific Group, delivered all twelve Deep Sea Supply vessels during 2013 and 2014. The vessels are constructed for operations all over the world. Several of them are currently working in the North Sea. The Deep Sea Supply vessels are 88.9m long and 19m wide. Powered by diesel electric propulsion, they reach a speed of 15.5 knots. The loading deck area is in excess of 1,000m² and the vessels each have a deadweight of 4,700 tonnes. The X-Bow® hull line design eliminates slamming from head sea, increases comfort and safety and reduces fuel consumption, Ulstein said. The vessels comply with the DNV requirements of either the Clean or Clean Design standard.
Ulstein equipment deliveries include diesel electric propulsion and engines, and the system deliveries include power distribution and propulsion, automation, internal communication and entertainment, navigation and radio. The vessels were among the first in which Ulstein had the switchboards produced at its own company in Ningbo, reducing delivery time due to shipment.
