Drydocks World begins work on CSS vessel

Drydocks World has begun construction of the $110 million compact semi-submersible (CSS) vessel, 'The Derwent', at Drydocks World's Nanindah shipyard at Batam in Indonesia, a statement said.

Recently, Drydocks World held a keel laying ceremony for the vessel that is being built for integrated energy services provider Hallin Marine Subsea International Ltd, a Superior Energy Services company, at Drydocks World's Nanindah shipyard at Batam in Indonesia. The contract for the distinctive project is valued at $110 million, the statement said.

Drydocks World and Maritime World Chairman Khamis Juma Buamim stated that one of the most outstanding aspects of the CSS being built at the Drydocks yard were its low costs coupled with its excellent project load capacity.

The primary focus of the vessel, which will be classified by the American Bureau of Shipping, will be light well intervention to provide repair and maintenance services to an existing offshore well and sub-sea oil production systems support.
