Ulstein secures contract from Wagenborg

Norway’s Ulstein Group has secured a six-year contract from Wagenborg Offshore for its PSV Blue Queen to support Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) and Shell UK with their offshore operations on the Southern North Sea. Wagenborg Offshore will operate the vessel as a standby and support vessel for inspection and maintenance of the unmanned platforms in both Dutch and British waters.

PSV Blue Queen receives the highest ESI score

The platform supply vessel Blue Queen, an ULSTEIN PX121 design constructed at Ulstein Verft, has received the highest ESI (Environmental Ship Index) score of 100 points from the World Port Climate Initiative (WPCI). The vessel is owned by Blue Ship Invest AS and managed by Golden Energy Offshore, Ulstein said in its press release. The top score is derived from a calculation of the reduced emissions of e.g. NOx, SOx and CO2. A number of elements must work together in order to receive a top score. For this vessel, the score was achieved by the dedication from the ship’s crew, the manager’s awareness through their management systems, which are certified with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and OHSAS 18001, and the ship’s design and on-board system solutions. Due to the ESI score, the vessel receives a 50% discount in calls to a number of ports, and the same discount in the Pilotage Readiness Fee.
