Launch of OSV and new order

The "Harvey Supporter", scheduled for delivery this November, is said to be the first Offshore Support Vessel in the U.S. to be constructed to the rigid regulatory standards required for “ENVIRO+, Green Passport (GP)” Certification by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), making her the most environmental friendly OSV in Gulf of Mexico.
Among other enhancements, these vessels will be exclusively constructed with certified environmentally friendly materials that can either be completely recycled, or broken down without harm to the environmental, contain high-tech alarms for fuel tanks and containment systems, and be continuously manned with a certified Environmental Officer.
Harvey Gulf simultaneously reached agreement with Eastern to build a multi-purpose light construction vessel, as the company reports. The “Harvey Deep-Sea” will also be ENVIRO+, Green Passport (GP) certified and equipped with an active heave-compensated 165-ton knuckle boom crane. “Harvey Deep-Sea” is scheduled for delivery in April 2013. Harvey Gulf also announced that its next phase of green construction will include two dual fuel PSV’s that will be powered by LNG, or diesel. Harvey Gulf will meet with the U.S. Coast Guard concerning the regulations for this new class of vessel and plans to begin construction as soon as they are released thereafter, which is anticipated early this summer.
