Yard number 283 Sarah, type ULSTEIN SX121 Offshore Construction Vessel, was finally delivered to Marine Subsea today December 16. The vessel has been designed and constructed by Ulstein Group.

The dialogue between Ulstein Group and the ship owner has been good during the process. We are very pleased that the vessel now is delivered to our customer Marine Subsea, says CEO Ulstein Group Gunvor Ulstein.

The ULSTEIN SX121 offshore construction vessel features the characteristic ULSTEIN X-BOW®, enabling her to operate under all weather conditions while remaining steady and comfortable for the crew. Equipped for 100 persons, the 120-meter-long and 25-meter-wide vessel is an impressive sight.

The Sarah is a DP3 dynamic positioning vessel that is capable of operating in depths of 3000 metres. The vessel has deck capacity of 1470 metres³ and her main features include a tower, main crane and two heavy duty workclass ROVs, as well as numerous sophisticated technical subtleties. Specifically designed for deepwater well intervention activity, she is also capable of multiple offshore support functions.

This is oil service company Marine Subsea’s first vessel from the Ulstein Group. Marine Subsea provides oil and gas services mainly in West Africa, with three vessels in service and five under construction. Sarah has a 10-year service agreement with the Angolan state oil company Sonangol.
