The contract was awarded in March 2022 and the vessel, already 98.9% built, is to be used in the US offshore wind farm Empire Wind 1.
Seatrium, taking a view that a customer is trying to walk away from a US$475 million contract, has filed a notice of arbitration.
On Oct 9, Maersk Offshore Wind, a unit of the Danish shipping giant, terminated the contract given to Seatrium to build a wind turbine installation vessel, putting forward "allegations" which were not specified.
