The dredger will be built to the requirements of classification society Bureau Veritas (BV) and will be LNG ready. It will also be certified with the BV Green Passport and Clean Ship notations.
SINGAPORE (July 16): Keppel Offshore & Marine announced that its wholly-owned subsidiaries Keppel FELS and Keppel Shipyard have secured contracts from repeat customers worth about $130 million for a newbuild dredger and the modification of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO).
The first contract was awarded to Keppel FELS by Van Oord to build a high-specification Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD). This follows from an option granted to Van Oord based on earlier contracts entered in May 2018 for two similar dredgers.
