Norway’s NorYards has secured outfitting work worth Nkr650 million ($110 million) with NDFS Offshore for a newbuild anchor-handling tug supply vessel currently under construction at a Chinese yard.

The contract will be carried out at the fabrication group’s Fosen facility on Norway’s west coast that was formerly part of the shipbuilding division of Bergen Group, which has been transferred to NorYards under a pending sale to Calexco.

Outfitting work is due to start in the third quarter after expected delivery in September of the vessel’s hull from China’s Nantong Mingde Heavy Industries, with the completed vessel scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2015.

It is a sister vessel of another AHTS currently being outfitted at Fosen and due for delivery in the second quarter.

Execution of the latest contract is though conditional on the sale by Bergen Group of its majority stake in NorYards to Calexco being completed, expected this month.
