Press release -
ESVAGT’s next ERRV well launched
H-053 has been launched – still ahead are 3 months of work to ready the vessel for its 12 year contract in the South Arne field.
The 82 metre long ERRV H-053 was launched from the Cemre Shipyard in Turkey at the beginning of January.
There are still 3 more months of work to be done at the shipyard before the vessel can set sail for Esbjerg.
“There are around 170 people constantly working on board now, and the largest single job is installing the fuel optimising Blue Drive-system,” says John Laustsen, Project Director for ESVAGT:
H-053 will be one of the largest and most modern ERRV in ESVAGT’s fleet and its charter for the next 12 years for Hess in the South Arne field will bring new duties. For the last 17 years, ESVAGT has been servicing Hess in South Arne with standby vessels, supply vessels and connecting work to tank vessels. From now on, ESVAGT will also supply servicing, maintenance and inspection of the tubing system. In addition, the new ERRV will make it possible to service work on the unmanned platforms in the area; something that up to now has been performed by specialised vessels.
