Vard snaps up contract to build two carrier vessels for Topaz

Aggregate contract price is around $54.4 million.

Singapore-listed specialised ship designer Vard Holdings has unveiled its secured contract for the design and construction of two additional module carrier vessels for a leading offshore support vessel company, Topaz Energy and Marine.

The aggregate contract price awarded to Vard is at around $54.4 million (US$40m)

Measuring 123m x 16.5m, the vessels are sister ships of a series of 15 identical module carrier vessels previously contracted by Topaz for delivery from VARD’s shipyards in Tulcea and Braila in Romania, and Vung Tau in Vietnam.

According to the group, the two will be operated by Topaz through a consortium led by Blue Water Shipping.

Both vessels are scheduled to be delivered by the second quarter of 2018.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
