Olympic Subsea ASA has announced the expansion of its fleet with two new state-of-the-art construction vessels, set to be the most energy-efficient in their category. These vessels are part of the company's strategy to enhance its operations' sustainability while meeting increasing global standards for energy efficiency. The vessels, featuring the UT7623 SEV (Sustainable Energy Vessel) design, have been developed in collaboration with Kongsberg Maritime
and will significantly surpass the requirements of the Paris Agreement. The construction, valued at approximately NOK 1 billion, will be undertaken at the CMHI shipyard in Shenzhen, ensuring the use of advanced Norwegian design and equipment. Stig Remøy, majority owner of Olympic Subsea
ASA, expressed the company's commitment to environmentally friendly practices and local economic benefits. The project is expected to significantly bolster the maritime cluster in Northwestern Norway, injecting around NOK 700 million into the local economy and fostering long-term job security and community benefits. The new vessels, scheduled for delivery in the summer of 2027, will cater to both the renewable energy and oil & gas sectors, underlining Olympic's leadership in energy transition efforts. This initiative reflects the unprecedented growth and strategic foresight of the company, with expected fleet revenue for 2024 reaching NOK 1.6 billion, a notable increase from 2023.
