The contract will start in the second quarter of 2023 and is expected to keep the 5,500 dwt dual-fuel ship utilised for four to six months.
The Siem Symphony was the first ship in the company’s fleet fitted with a battery pack. The 2014-built PSV features a 565 kWh chargeable Corvus Orca Energy unit.
