World Wide Supply lays up PSV

Oslo-listed World Wide Supply has announced that it is removing the World Diamond and World Pearl due to the very weak offshore spot market. The two ships are currently trading spot in the North Sea after working with GdF for a couple of years since December 2013. A total number of about 48 seamen will be given notice of termination, says a release. World Wide Supply has a total of six identical PSVs in its fleet list, all contracted at Damen Shipyards Group in Holland. The ships were ordered in 2011 and delivered in 2013.

Damen Shipyards Galati delivers World Diamond to World Wide Supply

Damen Shipyards Galati has delivered World Diamond, the first of six Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) for Norwegian offshore owner World Wide Supply. The vessel is built to an entirely new Damen design. World Diamond was christened by godmother Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Margarita of Romania on June 28th, in a yard ceremony attended by 150 guests. “Delivery of this first PSV 3300 represents a new era in Damen’s continuing offshore supply vessel story,” said Arnout Damen. “This has been a truly collaborative project, with Damen drawing on expertise from within the group and the client and also from partners among leading research institutes and subcontractors to deliver a first in class vessel designed, built and equipped to European standards for a world class customer.”
