In 2013, Esnaad awarded Shipyard De Hoop with an order for ten Platform Supply Vessels.
Whilst the complete production of the vessels is equally split between De Hoop's two facilities in Lobith and Foxhol, the delivery is spread over almost two years, with the last PSV to be handed over in 2017.
Esnaad 221
The first vessel with YN 470, named Esnaad 221, has now been delivered to Esnaad, the operating company of the ADNOC group. 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 the 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 the second slipway. Furthermore, the steel cutting and construction of the first block sections for the sixth vessel is at an advanced stage.
