L&T Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of engineering major Larsen & Toubro, today said it has received a repeat order for six specialised commercial vessels valued at $154 million (Rs 943 crore), from a Qatar-based firm.
“The order from Halul Offshore Services Company, Qatar, is for design, construction, trial and commissioning of four platform supply vessels (PSVs) and two anchor handling towing, supply and standby vessels (AHTSSVs) with 150 MT bollard pull,” L&T said in a statement.
These orders, received in the third quarter of current fiscal, are in addition to the order received last year from Halul Offshore Services Company for two PSVs and 2 AHTSSVs.
L&T said the ships’ design would comply with the latest marine environment and crew accommodation regulations. The platform supply vessels are designed for carriage of hazardous cargo like methanol.
“The ships will be equipped with dynamic positioning capability and will be suitable for fire-fighting, emergency response, rescue and standby, offshore supply, oil recovery and related duties,” it said.
The platform supply vessels are to be delivered in the first quarter of 2015 and AHTSSVs in the last quarter.
