Posh takes delivery of first newbuild MPSV POSH Mallard

POSH continued to stand apart as a leading offshore accommodation provider after taking delivery of the Multi-purpose Support Vessel (“MPSV”), POSH Mallard, and deploying it on a first-of-its kind charter off India waters. The diesel electric, DP2, SPS code-compliant POSH Mallard is designed to meet various work requirements within the Inspection, Maintenance and Repair ("IMR") space, with its 120 tonne Active Heave Compensated ("AHC") subsea crane and large accommodation capacity of 108 persons. After POSH took delivery of the vessel from PaxOcean Zhoushan Shipyard, POSH Mallard was outfitted with a full motion-compensated Ampelmann A- Type Gangway on its deck. This further bolsters its already robust ability to provide safe personnel transfers between ship and workplace. The vessel then embarked on its maiden charter with an international oil company off the West Coast of India, and will be providing a “walk-to-work” solution for the maintenance team offshore until Q2 2018. The charter particularly stands out as the first motion-compensated gangway solution for offshore India. In November alone, the vessel facilitated more than 2,500 personnel transfers. The addition of POSH Mallard further diversifies and rejuvenates the POSH fleet while allowing us to enhance our suite of services for our clients. (Source: Posh Times)
