A big milestone for a record build at the Ulstein Verft shipyard in Norway.
Last month, the prefabricated aft section of newbuild Yno 302 arrived at the yard following an eleven day tow from the Crist yard in Poland.
Yno 302 is an SX165 design offshore construction vessel that will be jointly owned by Norway-based shipowner Island Offshore and US-based shipowner Edison Chouest Offshore. The 14,000 DWT vessel will be 159.8 meters long with a beam of 30 meters, making it the largest ship ever constructed at Ulstein Verft.
Once delivered, the aft section, weighing 6,500 tonnes alone, was moved into the dock and connected to the foreship. Check out the time-lapse below showing the process:
