Damen to begin refit of PSV for aquaculture work

By Baird Maritime - January 24, 2020.

Damen will soon commence work to convert a platform supply vessel (PSV) into an aquaculture support vessel for a Norwegian customer.

The PSV World Opal will be converted into a fish feed transport vessel for Eidsvaag. The vessel will be renamed Eidsvaag Opal following the refit, which will be carried out at the facilities of Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam.

World Opal was originally one of six PSVs in a series delivered by Damen Shipyards Group to Norwegian operator World Wide Supply in the second half of 2013. It has a length of 80.1 metres and a cargo deck capacity of 1,500 tonnes.
