Features of the DP3-rated vessels include 1,925 sq. metres of free deck space, accommodation for 120 people and a 400t AHC crane, rated for operations in water depths of up to 3,000 metres.

The vessels will also have the option to install an under deck carousel for 3,000t of product plus be configured for a 275t vertical lay tower over the deck of the moon pool.

According to MSS, the construction is going as planned, and the first vessel is scheduled for delivery in Q1 2017.
