        挪威船东GC Rieber航运公司已将SURF、建筑船舶“Polar Onyx”号交付给了新船东。

 

        该船于2月17日星期四交付给台湾海上风电公司“东方风能科技”（Dong Fang Offshore ）。

 

        值得注意的是，这两家公司在2021年12月达成了一项出售“Polar Onyx”号的协议，其中还包括船上的VLS塔。

 

        GC Rieber航运公司的首席执行官Einar Ytredal当时表示，这次交易结束了公司转变为现代化项目公司的多年战略进程，并为公司提供了可持续发展的盈利性海事项目。

 

        不久之后，该船的新船东“东方风能科技”公司透露其计划将“Polar Onyx”号改装成电缆铺设船舶。

 

        “东方风能科技”公司表示，这是台湾船东拥有的第一艘软体船。一旦在2022年上半年完成换旗仪式，它将成为第一艘悬挂台湾旗帜的船舶。

 

        “Polar Onyx”号将在台湾进行改装，预计于2023年底完工。

 

        这艘由挪威建造的船舶长130米，宽25米，配备了DP3定位系统和250吨抗风浪补偿式起重机。

 

        该船已经接受了第一个项目的预定，为一个海上风电承包商的电缆安装和埋设工作提供帮助。

Polar Onyx delivered to new owner

 

Norwegian shipowner GC Rieber Shipping has delivered the SURF, construction vessel Polar Onyx to the new owner.

 

The vessel was delivered to the Taiwanese offshore wind company Dong Fang Offshore on Thursday, 17 February.

 

To remind, the companies entered into an agreement for the sale of the Polar Onyx in December 2021, which also included the VLS tower onboard the vessel.

 

CEO of GC Rieber Shipping, Einar Ytredal, said at the time that the sale concludes a multi-year strategic process in converting the company into a modern project-house, delivering profitable and sustainable maritime projects.

 

Shortly after, the vessel’s new owner Dong Fang Offshore revealed its plans to convert Polar Onyx into a cable laying vessel.

 

It is the first flexible lay vessel owned by a Taiwanese owner, and will be the first vessel of its kind to fly the Taiwanese flag once reflagging is completed in the first half of 2022, Dong Fang said.

 

Polar Onyx will be converted in Taiwan, with an estimated completion at the end of 2023.

 

The Norwegian-built vessel is 130 metres long, 25 metres wide, and is fitted with a DP3 positioning system and a 250 MT heave compensated crane.

 

The vessel is already booked for her first project, supporting cable installation and burial works for an offshore wind contractor.
