Tersan Shipyard in Turkey has an order for a multi-purpose platform supply vessel (MPSV) from Norwegian Troms Offshore Supply Group, a subsidiary of U.S.-based Tidewater Inc.

There is an option for further three similar vessels. Wärtsilä Ship Design has received a contract for vessel designs. The vessel is designed to fit three Wärtsilä 8-cylinder in-line Wärtsilä 26 main engines, propulsion systems, a ballast water management system, and inert gas generators. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2016. The Wärtsilä design means that the ship will be strengthened and equipped for arctic conditions, with the hull and propulsion

in compliance with DNV ice class ICE 1A. This verifies that the vessel has sufficient strength, power, and equipment to operate in Arctic areas. The vessel will be readied for cold climate conditions according to the DNV DEICE class. This notation includes requirements for maintaining safety and vessel operability in ice, under icing conditions, and at low temperatures. The vessel is also prepared for advanced subsea operations with an active heave compensated construction crane with 150 tonnes capacity which can be quickly fitted when required.
