Marin Teknikk, a leading Norwegian ship design and engineering company, announce a new agreement with Chevalier Floatels from The Netherlands. This collaboration will see Marin Teknikk providing design and engineering services for the construction of the fourth Construction Support Vessel in a series of MT6040 hull designs, which will be the largest to date.
The partnership between Marin Teknikk and Chevalier Floatels is not a new one. The two companies have a long history of working together with shipowner Marcel Roelofs from Chevalier Floatels. This new agreement further solidifies their relationship and highlights the trust and confidence that Chevalier Floatels has in Marin Teknikk’s expertise and capabilities.
Chevalier Floatels is a young and energetic company with over ten years of experience in the flotel industry. They own and operate walk to work service support vessels as well as floating hotels. Chevalier Floatels emphasises safety, sustainability, and punctuality, ensuring successful project execution for their customers. The trademark of Chevalier Floatels is to deliver top quality to the industry.
Chevalier Floatels has purchased the Spanish built MT design hull from her previous Owners. The hull was recently towed to The Netherlands. Holland Shipyards in Hardinxveld, The Netherlands will complete the build. Marin Teknikk has assisted the Buyer in the process and looks forward to starting with the work.
The 110m long DP2 vessel will comply with the 2008 SPS Code for 200 POB. She will be equipped with an AHC 150t Subsea Crane for 3000m water depth, a free deck space of 1300m2, and a moonpool of 7.20m x 7.20m. The high-end accommodation is for 120 POB. She will be IMO Tier III and equipped with a battery system for energy storage. As such the vessel has an environmentally friendly footprint.
Contractors and suppliers from Norway and The Netherlands contribute to the build.
The high-end Construction Support Vessel is a multipurpose vessel for construction support, walk-to-work, and cable repair and trenching. Holland Shipyards will deliver the vessel on 31 March 2026.
