Germany: Hamburg-based Hellespont group has extended its fleet of PSVs with the delivery of the 3,250DWT 'Hellespont Dione'.
The 'Hellespont Dione' is a UT755LN type PSV with an overall length of 73.6 metres and a beam 16 metres.
Built at Drydocks World, Batam (Indonesia), the vessel is the fifth sister ship to join the Hellespont offshore fleet. The previous four vessels were all built in Cochin, India.
"These versatile vessels are all on long term charter for seven years," Phrixos Papachristidis, Hellespont group CEO.
"Apart from our Hamburg-based ship management office we also have an
offshore office in Singapore for the PSVs which is close to key charterers so we can build further relationships. That office is developing a cadre of experienced offshore crew directly employed by Hellespont. This gives us a good platform to expand the company to provide third party management to other operators in the offshore service vessel field.
"For the future, we are looking at opportunities and at the right time, and working with the right first class charterer, we will expand the fleet further."
