Two of the three vessels will be sold to a Norwegian offshore support service provider which plans to deploy the vessels to South America under a long term charter contract with Petrobras, Nam Cheong said.

The third of the vessels, all of which have 5000 brake horsepower, will work in the Asia Pacific region.

Scheduled for delivery in the second and third quarter of 2012, each of the vessels is about 60 metres long and has a minimum bollard pull of 60 tonnes.
