#VIKING SHIP CONSTRUCTION PLANS INSTALL#
In late-February 2019, Havila Shipping contracted Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine to install its EMS (Energy Management System) on 9x Havila vessels, including 4x AHTS (anchor-handling tug supply), 4x PSV (platform supply) and 1x RRV (rescue and recovery). LNG fuel systems are separate, custom-designed, and serve both machine rooms (front and aft). Ship's propulsion is also Rolls-Royce manufactured and includes 2x Azipull thrusters (with Permanent Magnet drive motors), stabilizers (Neptune 200), tunnel thrusters (allowing slimmer hull shape, better energy efficiency low noise-vibration levels).
#VIKING SHIP CONSTRUCTION PLANS PLUS#
The equipment includes 2x dual-fuel engines, 4x Bergen gas engines (two 9-cylinder, plus two 6-cylinder, all IMO Tier 3 compliant), 2x LNG tanks (with bunkering systems), 2x LNG fuel systems, control and safety systems. Rolls-Royce Marine was contracted to provide newbuilds' power plants and propulsion units. Shipbuilders were Barreras Shipyard in Vigo Spain (for Capella and Castor) and Tersan Shipyard in Yalova Turkey (for Polaris and Pollux).The shipbuilding cost was ~USD 200 million per unit.The vessels were designed by "Havyard Ship Technology AS" (subsidiary of Havyard Group ASA - Norwegian maritime company established in 2000, owns Loland Verft in Leirvik Norway).The ships are LNG-powered hybrids (alternative battery power) and with passenger capacity 640 (179 cabins).Havila Shipping ordered 4x new cruiseferries (Havyard 923-class/sisterships) designed specifically for the "Norwegian Coastal Express" service. In late-December 2018 was announced that Enova (Norwegian government agency) provides NOK 88 million (USD 10,1 M) as financial support for Havila Kystruten's newbuilds (or NOK 22M per vessel). The Norwegian Government's ferry contracts are fixed (for a 10-year period) and secure a minimum annual revenue of NOK 285 million (~EUR 28M/ ~USD 33M). Norwegian Government's annual subsidy for this regularly scheduled ferry service is NOK 788 million (~EUR 77M / ~USD 92M). Hurtigruten operates this service since 1893. The Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen route and its 34 ports are served year-round by a total of 11x vessels, of which 7x Hurtigruten and 4x Havila newbuilds. On March 23, 2018, Norway's Ministry of Transportation and Communications split the "Norwegian Coastal Express" ferry service funding between Hurtigruten and Havila Kystruten. Eventually, the brand's inauguration was postponed for 2021-Q4, with the Maiden Voyage (Havila Capella from Bergen) scheduled for December 1st. However, due to the Coronavirus crisis, the service was rescheduled to commence in 2021-Q2 (by May). Originally, Havila Voyages (trademarked brand) planned to start Norwegian coastal operations in January 2021. Havila Voayges' competitor on the Norwegian cruiseferry market is Hurtigruten. Havila Kystruten is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (since 2005) and is currently led by the company's founders - the brothers Njal Saevik (CEO) and Per Saevik (Chairman). Some vessels are also available for bareboat chartering (hiring without administration or technical maintenance).Īll Havila vessels are Norway- flagged and most are registered in Bergen.The ERRVs are rescue and recovery boats providing security services for oil installations (oil spills, fire protection, etc).
The OSCVs are equipped with larger cranes, helipads, dynamic positioning systems.Havila Kystruten's main market is Northern Europe (Baltic/North Sea) and the Asia Pacific region.
Havila's newbuilds include 5 maritime support vessels and 4 cruise ships (LNG-powered hybrid ferries with alternative battery power). As of 2021, Havila Shipping owns and operates 23 marine vessels, including 10x PSV (Platform Supply Vessels, serving offshore oil- and gas platforms), 6x AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels, mainly built for oil rigs), 2x ERRV (Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels, for attending offshore installations), 4x OSCV (Offshore Subsea Construction Vessels, serving the offshore oil and gas industry, as well as wind farms), 4x cruiseferries (for the Norwegian Coastal Express service).
