Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary Sembawang Shipyard has secured a US$140 million ($182.8 million) contract from Equinox Offshore Accommodation to convert a ropax vessel to a DP2 Accommodation and Repair Vessel (ARV).
To be named ARV3, the vessel is expected to arrive in the shipyard in January next year for the conversion and modification works. The completed ARV3 will be a diesel electric designed and equipped to provide accommodation and workshop facilities to support and service offshore facilities and projects in deepwater.
ARV 3 will have accommodation facilities to house a complement of 450 persons.
Upon completion in fourth quarter 2012, the versatile ARV3 will be deployed to support offshore works in Brazil for five years under its owner’s charter contract with Petrobras of Brazil.
