Vroon Offshore Services has taken delivery of VOS Primrose during a ceremony held on Monday 4 January 2016 at Fujian Southeast Shipyard, following which the vessel left the Shipyard on her way to Hong Kong.
VOS Primrose is a KCM-80m platform-supply vessel (PSV) and the third in a series of eight sister vessels ordered by Vroon Offshore Services. All vessels have an SPS code and are equipped with full (under-deck) supply capabilities, that include stainless-steel tanks for the carriage of methanol. They provide accommodation and work space for a total complement of 52 persons (comprising client staff and up to 14 crew members).
The unique vessel concept provides a free deck space of 720 m2 and is based on a design by Khiam Chuan Marine (KCM). In close cooperation, KCM, Vroon’s Newbuilding Engineering Department, the world-renowned yacht designer KER Yacht Design & Engineering and Force Technology in Copenhagen worked together to fully optimise the design in order to ensure favourable motion and sea-keeping ability and efficient fuel consumption (both in DP mode and during transit). VOS Primrose will be managed by Vroon Offshore Services Singapore.
