Union Vega Offshore has placed an order for two firm 900m² platform supply vessels (PSVs), with options for an additional four vessels, based on Breeze Ship Design’s next-generation Z 4409 PSV design.
The vessels will be constructed at Fujian Mawei Shipyard, with delivery scheduled for first vessel in 2028. Measuring 84m in length, the new design incorporates battery-hybrid propulsion, a moonpool, and accommodation for up to 44 personnel. The vessels are prepared for the future installation of a 50t active heave compensated (AHC) crane, enhancing their operational flexibility and capability.
Developed with a focus on functionality, efficiency, and adaptability, the Z 4409 PSV has been designed to support a range of offshore operations. In addition to conventional platform supply duties, the vessel is suited for light construction activities, geophysical and seismic support operations, providing operators with a versatile platform capable of serving multiple offshore market segments.
The order is thought to mark an important milestone for both Union Vega Offshore and Breeze Ship Design, reflecting continued market confidence in innovative and future-oriented vessel solutions that address the evolving needs of the offshore industry.
