The PSV, due to be delivered toward end-2012, will be owned and operated by Norwegian ship owner, Vestland Offshore. It will be 85.6 m (280 ft) long, with a breadth of 20 m (65.6 ft), a cargo deck area of around 1,000 sq m (10,764 sq ft), and a dead weight at 7 m (23 ft) of 5,000 metric tons (5,511 tons).
