Houston-based offshore vessel operator Seacor Marineon Monday took delivery of a platform supply vessel built by Chinese yard Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry on foot of a deal signed between the two companies early last year.

Seacor Atlas was initially scheduled for delivery in April this year, but the outbreak of the conronavirus pandemic had prevented Seacor executives from travelling to Coscos facilities in Zhoushan island of eastern Chinas Zhejiang province to take delivery.

The Rolls Royce UT771CDL-design vessel is of 3800 tonnes deadweight capacity, with dynamic position class 2 and firefighting class 1 notations. It can accommodate a subsequent upgrade to a battery hybrid power solution.

It the last of the three similar vessels Seacor Marine has acquired from Cosco in a deal signed in January last year. The others have been delivered last year or early this year.
