Norwegian ship designer Havyard has won a contract for the design of a new multipurpose vessel to work for Hess under contract with Esvagt.
Havyard will also deliver ship equipment system packages with a total value of more than NOK 100 million, including Havyard’s own Concept Bridge.
Havyard 832 MPV is a multifunctional vessel. The ship is going to be constructed at the Cemre Shipyard in Turkey for Esvagt, and will be in operation for Hess.

This will become the sixth Havyard vessel contracted by Esvagt. The other contracts are four wind service operation vessels and one crew change vessel. The latest contract is the first one within the oil segment.
Work on design and ship equipment system packages will start immediately and the vessel is due to be delivered during spring 2018.
