Norway-based Optimarin has won a contract to install its Optimarin Ballast System (OBS) on Østensjø Rederi's 'Edda Fides', the world's only purpose built monohull accommodation vessel.
The system has now been dispatched to Galveston USA, where installation will be completed by the end of Q1 2016.
The Norwegian ballast water treatment (BWT) specialist secured the business following on from the success of a previous installation on the firm's 'Edda Fortis' in 2015.
'Edda Fides', which is operated by Østensjø Rederi`s subsidiary Edda Accommodation, is a multipurpose accommodation and service ship, with a 600 bed capacity, 1,400 square metre deck area, advanced offshore crane, and helicopter deck.
Constructed in 2011, it serves the oil and gas industry worldwide, using its DP3 specification to work in close proximity to offshore installations.
