We expect that activity will pick up, and the need for this type of vessels will increase in future years. This, together with a need for renewal of both our own fleet and the PSV fleet generally means that this is a correct decision. The vessel has the highest environmental class, NOFO 2009 and fits into our strategy of increasing our share of PSV. We are also pleased to be able to build in Norway, which again shows that the yards here are competitive, especially in design and quality but also on price, "said Roy Wareberg, CEO of Sartor Offshore AS Havyard 832 L is a development of the previously designed and delivered Havyard 832. Experience from previous designs and feedback from the shipyard and shipping company makes Havyard 832 L an even more market-adjusted and building friendly design. The good capabilities from the previous ships are being continued and further developed in terms of economy, large, flexible capacity to carry a lot of load types, good comfort for the crew and to reduce the impact on the environment (Clean Design, optimized hull lines, diesel-electric propulsion, catalysts, etc.). Havyard 832 L is a large PSV well equipped to provide services to most types of service and supply contracts to the offshore oil industry. In addition to the large, flexible cargo capacity, the ship, among other things, is equipped for oil spill response (NOFO 2009).
