Ulstein, a company known for its ship design and building activities, with South American operations based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has reported the recent launch of two of its PX121 vessels. China’s Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. launched sister vessels Go Matilda and Go Mundara on January 6 and 8, respectively. The ships are the second and third in a series of four Ulstein PX121 design platform supply vessels under construction at the shipyard for Singapore-based Otto Marine subsidiary Otto Offshore.
In addition to tanks for contents such as oil, water and drilling fluids, the Ulstein PX121 have four stainless steel tanks for flammable liquids or corrosive chemicals (LFL tanks). The vessels themselves are capable of supporting offshore activities that are being carried out further from shore and in deeper waters.
