Eemshaven 15/07/2015 – In 2013 Esnaad awarded Shipyard De Hoop with an order for ten state-of-the-art Platform Supply Vessels. Despite the vigorous international competition, De Hoop won the prestigious contract as result of their technically advanced design and competitive terms. Whilst the complete production of the vessels is equally split between the two facilities in Lobith and Foxhol, the delivery is spread over almost two years, with the last PSV to be handed over in 2017. The first vessel with YN 470, named Esnaad 221, was delivered to Esnaad, the operating company of the ADNOC group, on the 15th of July 2015. In the meantime, the hull of the second vessel has been launched in Foxhol, whilst the steel hull of the fourth PSV is currently being assembled on their slipway. At the Lobith facilities, the hull of the third vessel is ready to be launched, whereas the block sections of hull number five are being assembled on their second slipway. Furthermore, the steel cutting and construction of the first block sections for the sixth vessel is at an advanced stage.
