Mawei Shipbuilding, a unit of Fujian Chuanzheng Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., has secured a contract to build two firm Construction Support Vessels (CSV) with options for two more, expanding the shipyard's presence in the high-end offshore vessel export market. The vessels have been designed by Norwegian maritime design house Sirius Design & Integration, with the project described as a further example of Sino-foreign cooperation in ship design and construction. Each CSV will measure 144.7 metres in overall length
with a moulded breadth of 27 metres, and will feature comprehensive professional-grade outfitting for offshore energy work. Equipment on board each vessel will include a large-capacity offshore crane and two sets of ROV launch-and-recovery systems. The design also reserves interfaces for specialised offshore equipment such as cable turntables and vertical pipelaying systems, enabling the vessels to be configured for a range of offshore-energy applications. The CSVs are intended to support diverse operations including construction, operation-and-maintenance work, and general operational support for offshore-energy projects, reflecting a multi-functional design approach. The order adds to Mawei Shipbuilding's portfolio of offshore support vessel projects and underscores continued demand for specialised newbuildings serving the global offshore-energy sector. According to TrustedDocks orderbook data, the two vessels were ordered by SEACOR Marine LLC at a price of USD 41 million per vessel, with deliveries scheduled between October 2026 and March 2027; the order was reported on 2 December 2024.
