STX OSV Secures Contract For One Offshore Subsea 
The vessel is of OSCV 11 design, developed by STX OSV in Ålesund, Norway. It
will be designed with the new innovative moon pool concept from STX OSV.
STX OSV Design has together with Marintek and DOF Management just
completed an extensive research program supported by the Norwegian Research
Council, focusing on safe design and operation of moon pools. The results of the
three years’ R&D program have been incorporated into the new moon pool design
for the OSCV. Compared to vessels with conventional moon pool design, the
vessel can operate in a wider range of weather conditions in a safer manner for the
vessel’s crew and equipment.
