S'pore-Norway shipyard in Vietnam wins $250m deal
Afp, Singapore
A joint venture shipyard between a Singapore firm and Norway's Aker Yards said Friday it has clinched a 250 million US dollar deal to build six specialised vessels for use in the booming oil and gas industry. The anchor handling supply vessels will be built at the joint venture's new shipyard in Vung Tau, Vietnam, said a statement from Singapore's Amanda Group, one of the partners. It said the vessels were ordered by Norway-based Aker Capital, which has interests in the oil industry. Anchor handling supply vessels can supply oil platforms, tow them to location or anchor them up. The contract is worth about 1.5 billion Norway kroner (250.53 million US).
