We have celebrated two important milestones in the journey of NB998 for Dong Fang Offshore (DFO) at Vard Vung Tau in Vietnam. The keel laying ceremony and the coin ceremony. Both ceremonies mark significant moments in the vessel’s journey from design to a completed vessel, bringing us one step closer to seeing NB998 come to life.
NB998 is a Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV), designed to support wind farm operations as well as construction and installation activities. The vessel is based on the VARD 4 39 design, a new design developed through close collaboration between DFO and VARD.
We look forward to following the progress as construction continues, with delivery scheduled for Q1 2028.
