Triyards Hits WFSV Trifecta

Singapore-based ship designer and shipbuilder Triyards Holdings Limited has won contracts to build three wind farm support vessels (WFSVs) for three different clients.

The overall value of the three shipbuilding contracts is around USD 13 million, Triyards told Offshore WIND.

The vessels will be built in the company’s yards in Vietnam and will be ready for delivery within the next six months.

Equipped with either the Quad Volvo IPS or Quad WaterJet propulsion engines, each wind farm vessel will be able to cruise at a speed of at least 25 knots and carry up to 24 passengers. These aluminium craft will also be fitted with deck cranes with lifting capacities of up to 10 tonnes.

“These contracts are the result of our conscientious efforts to diversify our client base and product offering. In addition, the wind farm vessel orders attest to our growing standing in the renewable energy market. We will continue to establish a greater foothold in this sector as well as seek opportunities in addition to those in a traditional market,” Triyards’ Chief Executive Officer, Chan Eng Yew, said.

Correction note: All three WFSVs were ordered by European clients and will be deployed in Europe as well. Our original article stated that one of the vessels was ordered by a South Asian client to operate in Indonesian waters, based on the information we received from Triyards. The company in the meantime corrected the original statement, without disclosing any further details about the clients.
