Cyprus-based CSM Energy has taken delivery of a new platform supply vessel (PSV).
CL Spec Linda is the fourth unit in a new series of PSVs developed in response to market demand for vessels that are capable of performing a range of logistics-related tasks. CL Spec Lisa, the first PSV in the series, was delivered earlier this year.
The newbuild has a steel hull, an LOA of approximately 82 metres, a beam of 17 metres, a draught of 6.3 metres, a depth of 7.8 metres, a clear deck area of 800 square metres, a deadweight of 3,900, and a gross tonnage of 3,348.
The clear deck can be used to transport a range of payloads, typically ISO containers, spare parts and heavy equipment, for use at offshore platforms. On return trips, the vessel can transport waste material for proper onshore disposal.
Also fitted are dedicated tanks for storing water, drilling mud, and other types of liquid cargo to be delivered to platforms. Some of the tanks can also house oil that has been recovered during spill response operations.
CL Spec Linda was designed by Sinopacific Engineering and Contracting and built by Nantong Rainbow Offshore and Engineering Equipment. The vessel complies with Liberian flag requirements and Bureau Veritas class rules including those under the COMF-NOISE and COMF-VIB 3 notations.
