Vard has agreed to sell a diving and support vessel originally contracted by defunct offshore support firm Harkand Group to an undisclosed buyer.
The diving support and construction vessel was contracted by Harkand in December 2013, but the group entered into administration in May 2016. Vard has cancelled the original contract with Harkand’s administrator to agree the new sale.
Built to Vard's 3 03 design, the vessel is equipped to carry out a range of diving and subsea operations. It is fitted with a 250-tonne offshore crane and a twin-bell 18-man saturation diving system, which enables split-level diving operations to a maximum depth of 300 m.
The vessel is scheduled for delivery from Vard's Søviknes yard in Q1 2019, before which it will be finalised, tested and prepared for operations.
