Finnish marine equipment engineering firm MacGregor has signed a contract with Aramco to supply deck machinery packages to six AHTS vessels.
The 64m vessels are being built for long-term charter in the Middle East.
Awarded by PaxOcean Engineering, the contract entails each AHTS to be fitted with a 150-tonne anchor handling and towing winch, shark jaws, towing pins, auxiliary winches and ancillary equipment.
The equipment will be delivered in stages for which work is expected to commence at the end of 2016 and the vessels are scheduled for delivery in the third quarter 2017.
The vessels are designed by Conan Wu Enterprises and owned by Singapore-based PACC Offshore Services Holding Limited (POSH).
