Norwegian company Breeze Ship Design has recently been awarded a contract by Chinese shipbuilder Fujian Mawei for the design of a multipurpose offshore support vessel (MPSV).
The innovative Z 4423 MPSV is designed to meet the specific requirements and operational modes demanded in complex offshore energy applications. The 88m vessel is fitted with battery hybrid propulsion, moonpoool and accommodation for 60 personnel. With a focus on functionality and efficiency, the design offers flexibility to perform tasks within different offshore segments, such as conventional platform supply service, light construction work, geoseismic and offshore wind.
The new MPSV will be built at the Chinese Fujian Mawei shipyard, with scheduled delivery in the fourth quarter of 2025. Norwegian-registered Hercules Supply is behind the order, and has secured options for two further ships. Delivery time for the optional vessels will be in three month intervals after ship number one. Fletcher Group will operate the first vessel both commercially and technically.
Ove Wilhemsen, CEO Breeze Ship Design said: “We are honoured to be working with Fujian Mawei and Fletcher Group on this exciting project. Our team is dedicated to delivering a state-of-the-art vessel that combines exceptional performance, versatility, and safety.”
