Østensjø Rederi has entered into a shipbuilding contract with the Spanish shipyard, Astilleros Gondan, for the construction of an Ocean Energy Support Vessel (OESV). The newbuild represents a major step in the Company’s efforts of continuous improvement and modernization of the fleet.
The vessel is equipped to perform a wide range of operations within offshore energy, including Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR), construction, walk-to-work/flotel services, and cable laying. Its versatile design ensures that the vessel can operate across multiple segments within the ocean space, ensuring efficiency and operational flexibility.
“We are excited to start on this shipbuilding journey with the ordering of a new vessel type. The ordering aligns with our ongoing efforts to modernize our fleet, our commitment to new technology, and our dedication to decarbonization, says CEO of Østensjø Rederi Kristian Helland Vea.
The vessel is scheduled to be delivered second half of 2027.
