TRIESTE \u2013<\/strong> Vard<\/a>, the Norwegian subsidiary of Fincantieri, will build a third Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) for Dong Fang Offshore<\/strong>, exercising an option from the contract signed in April.<\/p>\n

Measuring approximately 102.7 meters in length and 19.5 meters in beam, the vessel will be equipped with an electric crane, walk-to-work system, SeaQ Integrated Bridge, advanced automation, and a hybrid power package including a 1,240 kWh energy storage system. It will be shore power-ready and fitted with waste heat recovery systems and high-efficiency HVAC. The onboard capacity will accommodate up to 120 people in high-standard cabins.<\/p>\n

Construction, outfitting, and delivery will take place at Vard\u2019s shipyard in Vung Tau, Vietnam<\/strong>, with delivery expected in the first quarter of 2028.<\/p>\n
