Drydocks World has recently completed the launch of Anchor Handling Offshore Support Vessel Olympus Crest at its shipbuilding yard in Nanindah, Indonesia. The vessel is being built for Singapore based Pacific Crest Pte Ltd at a contract value of USD 20.4 million, excluding owner furnished equipments.

The company has a wealth of experience in building support vessels for the offshore industry for a number of clients from all over the world.

“We have proven capabilities in supplying new generation support vessels that can operate in deep waters and are equipped with modern equipment. These are highly capable of aiding subsea construction and maintenance activities,” said Khamis Juma Buamim, Chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World.

“Under our new business strategy, we would like to place an added thrust on activities that support the oil and gas sector. The diversification was imminent as there has been a burgeoning demand from this sector for vessels with highly advanced capabilities,” he added.

Olympus Crest has the overall dimensions of length 76m, beam 18.5m and draft 6.8m. It is designed by Wartsila Ship Design and classified by ABS. The 150TBP vessel has DP2 capability and is of fire fighting class 1.
