Keppel Singmarine, the specialised shipbuilding arm of Keppel Offshore & Marine, says it has delivered five ships safely and on time.

In addition, the five vessels, including a Multi-Purpose Supply and Support Vessel (MPSSV), an Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessel and three tugboats, have performed well during the sea trials.

Greatship Mohini, a MPSSV was delivered to Greatship Global Offshore Services, a member of the Great Eastern Shipping Group of India. This 94-metre long vessel is equipped with two units of electrically driven 2600KW Azimuth thrusters and three units of 1050KW tunnel thrusters to achieve a Dynamic Positioning II capability. The vessel has since been acquired by Norwegian offshore shipping company, Rem Offshore ASA.

The company also delivered Hadi 28, an AHTS to its regular client Hadi H. Al-Hamman Establishment for deployment in Saudi Arabia. The 80-tonne bollard pull vessel is equipped with dynamic positioning system and Azimuth thrusters to enhance its position keeping and maneuverability as she performs various supply and support functions for the offshore installation and floating units.

In addition, two 50-tonne bollard pull twin-screw Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tugboats, Mirbat and BT Bontang 08, have been delivered to Salalah Port Services Company SAOG of the Sultanate of Oman and PT. Badak NGL in Indonesia respectively.

Meanwhile, Keppel Nantong Shipyard in China also delivered a 65-tonne bollard pull twin-screw ASD tugboat, KST 56, to Keppel Smit Towage.
