The vessel, also a Taiwan-flagged SOV, is designed to be methanol-ready as a future fuel, just like its sister ship, the TSS Pioneer , which was delivered in 2022.
The ship will measure 87.7 metres in length and 19.7 metres in breadth, accommodating up to 120 people.
The SOV is designed to support offshore wind farms in Taiwan, which are planned to be built and become operational in the late 2020s.
“We are pleased to have placed an order for TSSM’s third SOV. We are confident that the SOV will not only make TSSM the dominant SOV player in Taiwan, but will also serve as a stepping stone for the development of MOL’s SOV business in Asia, including Japan,” said Masayuki Sugiyama , MOL Executive Officer.
